Our Instrumentarium Needs an Alto!

My Project

My students have been working very hard in music class, participating in many varied activities including using Orff instruments. The students are learning teamwork, note reading and many other skills through the use of the Orff instruments.

Unfortunately, we do not currently have enough alto xylophones to make our music balanced!

We want to be able to have our students play more than one part, and adding this alto xylophone will help add the middle voicing to many of our playing activities. We hope to build several more of the altos, and this will help us get started!
