Our Orff orchestra needs more bass to support the instruments we are adding. We don't have enough Orff instruments for every child to have their own. In our disposable culture, it's a challenge for children to understand that instruments should last for generations. In my 3 years at Hyannis West, instilling personal responsibility for the materials has been a top priority. Students take pride in the good condition of the instruments. Our instruments look and function better now than they did when I arrived. Instruments are polished every spring and covered with hand-cut "blankets" after every use. Any new instruments will be well cared-for.
