In the present Thesis we are dealing with the Orff Didactic Concept, Orff Instruments and their inclusion into Music Theory Lessons at a Music School. Additionally, we are interested in Cross-curricular connections which are present while using them. The usage of Orff instrumentation is intended not only for Music Theory Lessons, but also for the subject 'Orchestra'. Orchestral play is an important supplement and upgrade of a soloist orchestral instrument and has a distinctly connective role amongst them, which has a positive impact on students' motivation. Through analysis of musical examples which forsee the usage of Orff instuments in texbooks Mali glasbeniki 1-6 written by Tornič Milharčič, Širca Costantini and Kozlevčar, Solfeggio 1-2 by Širca Pavčič and Nauk o glasbi 1-6 by Repše, Ulokina and Urbančič, we find out what accompanies the instrumental performance, what are the ways and forms of accompanying, what part of a song or musical piece is accompanied, how the score is written, and whether it includes improvisation and how it flows. All textbooks frequently include work with Orff Instruments, although in different ways, and in connection with various different activities. In the end we added 16 originally written accompaniments for working with Orff Instruments. Some are written for rhythmic as well as melodic instruments. Some are suitable for usage in the lower grades of Music Theory Lessons at a Music School, some for higher grades or in the Orff Orchestra.
