I am requesting Orff pitched percussion instruments for our music classes. These materials will allow for TK-3rd students to learn Orff music songs and play pitched percussion in music class along with other percussion instruments already at school. This set of percussion instruments will allow students to accompany themselves and their class while singing songs and performing. Orff music instruments provide kinesthetic learning opportunities for students to increase their musical abilities along with hand-eye coordination and memorization of patterns. hese pitched percussion instruments have removable bars so TK/Kinder students can have one pitch, or high and low pitches to participate with their students. All of the bars can stay on for the older students so they can memorize more complex musical patterns and melodies.
