The materials will allow more students a chance to play and enjoy listening to their own musical creations performed. The Metallophones will boost my students' confidence and allow to feel like they can achieve all of their goals. The students will be able to practice reading music with the Metallophones and eventually they will be able to play to start improvising and writing their own compositions. In return the students will gain joy and happiness from the experience. The students will be learning music through Orff-Schulwerk. This approach combines music, movement, drama, and speech into lessons. The Orff approach uses rudimentary forms of everyday activity in a child-centered way of learning, treating music like a language. It is in this approach to elemental music making that allows children to explore new and abstract musical skills and learn by experiencing and participating in different musical lessons and activities.
