I am requesting xylophones to improve my students' ability to hear and play music. My students show a great interest and aptitude for music. Unfortunately, our school doesn’t have yet all the needed materials and instruments to help students explore music creatively and reach their potential.
Restrictions regarding distancing and gathering make it even more difficult to bring children regularly to the music room. Even in the music room students have access to a limited array of instruments.
These xylophones in cases will provide my students the chance to work on their desks, in small spaces, exploring sounds vibrations and also learning music and performing. They are also easy to transport from one room to the next (with cleaning included in between). These xylophones will also be a great help when students are presented with bigger Orff instruments in the upper grades or in after school programs since the arrangement of notes is the same. Our school is in the process of obtaining enough instruments for a full percussion orchestra.
I envision myself using these instruments for all grades. However, I believe that they would be a real asset on my teaching the younger grades and Kindergarten.
