My Project
My students love playing the Orff instruments in music class, and they're always so excited when we're a doing a lesson that uses them. These barred, keyboard percussion instruments are great for helping students practice steady beat and rhythm, and it helps them visualize where notes are in relation to each other. Most importantly, getting to play these xylophones and metallophones keeps them engaged and excited to participate in music class.
Good yarn mallets will allow my students to take full advantage of the Orff instruments.
The mallets we have now are old and mismatched with broken handles, and some are held together with tape. They are not all the right size or materials for our instruments. I have two xylophones and two metallophones in my classroom, and I'm asking for seven pairs of yarn mallets in two different sizes so that many students can play the instruments at once.
This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
