Jos Wuytack
He has taught music pedagogy at the Conservatory of Tilburg (Holland), I'Institut de Methodes actives de Lyon (France) and the Institute of Church Music and Pedagogy (Belgium). He was also professor of sacred music at the Seminary of Gent, as position of music pedagogy at the Lemmens Institute in Leuven.
In an effort to promote the active and creative approach to music education, based on the principles of Carl Orff, Professor Wuytack has given exemplary teacher training courses in 40 different countries. In 1996 he reached the incredible hallmark of having instructed 1000 courses in six different languages.
Numerous publications and compositions in the Orff style bear his name, including the Flemish and French editions of the Schulwerk and two volumes of Musica Viva. His most recent publications include books of children's songs with actions, which he has published in six different languages.
Perhaps Wuytack's most outstanding contribution is the creation of the musicogram, which has added the important component of active music listening to the Orff approach.
In recognition of his worldwide work in the Orff approach, he was the recipient of the "Pro Merito" Award from the Carl Orff Foundation in Munich.
