My Project

My young musicians love playing the Orff xylophones in music class. These instruments help them to foster creativity, reinforce the concept of steady beat, and promote the development of ensemble skills.

Proper playing position is key to skill development, and the students need special xylophone stands that allow them to play from a standing position.

These stands allow students’ hands to be in the correct position while playing. In addition, the xylophone stands make it easier to store and retrieve the instruments, which increases their usage. Students are able to safely move the xylophones with stands, and they love being independent helpers in the classroom!
