Standing For Orff

Help me give my students sturdy, portable stands for our Orff xylophones and metallophones!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Clayton's classroom raised $749

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love to play instruments! I have very few metallophones and xylophones, and they are quite old with some needed repairs. I am slowly using my budget to have them up to peak playing potential. In order to take care of them, my students need them to be more portable. They are heavy and awkward for my young students, and every time they move one, there is the possibility of bending nails or damaging bars.

These rolling Orff instrument holders will allow the instruments to be moved quickly and without damage.

This means we will be able to use our time more wisely, so we have the most playing time on our Orff instruments. We will learn so much by creating ostinati and singing along with our malleted instruments on these stands.
