The alto xylophone is an essential instrument that is part of the Orff approach to music education. The Orff Method is a way of introducing and teaching children about music on a level they can easily comprehend. A key component of Orff instruction is that children learn at their own level of understanding through lessons that are presented with an element of play. The use of xylophones through the Orff method of music education puts creative freedom into the hands of children. The use of xylophones in the music classroom builds confidence in children, increases motor skills, promotes creative thinking and problem solving, and improves memory, dexterity, and agility.
