Orff, Orff, and Away!
Funded Apr 11, 2023My students LOVE their new soprano xylophone! So far, they can play "Hot Cross Buns," both the melody and harmony. As you can see in the pictures, the removable bars are so conveniently tucked away so they can focus on the most important notes. Next, we'll learn accompaniment while other students play the melody of "Hot Cross Buns," on their recorders. These students are almost ready to start playing 2 and 3 part ensemble music! Additionally, at our alternative school, where students are learning coping skills to improve their behavior, look at how well these two students are sharing the instrument and getting along! The goal is for each student to improve their behavior so that they can return to their home school. When these student first saw this xylophone, they were reminded of their music rooms in their home schools, saying, "Oh, I've played that before!" I'm so glad they don't have to miss out on the opportunity to play an Orff instrument while they are at Amelia Street School!”

When you visualize my students playing these tubanos, you can know there is a piece of you in each drum. Thank you for bringing these tubanos into the hands of my students!”
