My Project

Orff instruments are an essential part of elementary music.

Orff instruments are easily accessible for every student in elementary school from Kindergarten to 5th grade.

These are melodic instruments of different sizes and timbres specifically designed by 1900s music theorist Carl Orff for elementary students. They are specifically designed to be adaptable for students of different ages and abilities.

These requested xylophones, metallophones, and glockenspiels will help me teach my students about pitch, instrument care, reading music, improvisation, composition, proper instrument technique, and much more. They will be a wonderful addition to our music class!
