Doug Goodkin is most well-known for his work as a music
educator and particularly as a proponent of Orff Schulwerk, a dynamic approach
to music education developed by composer Carl Orff and his colleague, Gunild
Keetman. This work has led him deeper into education as a means to shape the
future by meeting the promise of humanity in each of its developmental phases.
A career of working with preschool, elementary, middle school, college students
and adults has provided insight into the special needs of each age level and
the universal needs of all ages. Traveling and teaching throughout the world
has helped sift out where cultures both differ and converge and inspired him to
celebrate both. His three decades of work in one school has given him the
opportunity to help shape a community that inspires the higher impulses of
children and adults alike. Experienced teacher, perpetual student, avid reader,
prolific writer, performing musician, social activist, jazz aficionado and piano
player, Zen Buddhist practitioner, and world traveler, Doug's diverse work and
interests are tied together by a vision of celebrating individual flowering
within the circle of community.
