This year, I am looking to add to my Orff instrument collection. My collection currently includes xylophones (soprano, alto, bass) metallophones (alto, soprano) and glockenspiels (soprano). My 3rd and 5th graders absolutely love playing on these instruments! We are lacking a bass metallophone, which is the costliest of all the metallophones. Each instrument produces a wonderfully distinct timbre, so adding a bass metallophone to our music classroom collection will only enrich our classroom and school performances. We use the Orff instruments to create arrangements to songs we have learned in class. Using Orff Instruments (tone bar instruments) is part of an entire learning approach. The instruments all possess unique timbres, which make all parts clear and well defined. Their use helps children become sensitive listeners and considerate participants as they play together in an ensemble. Used as a large group, the teacher can create an orchestra. Used as a small group, it can become accompaniment for storytelling and movement. These instruments allow a unity with music, movement, dance, and speech.
