I currently have 19 Orff Xylophones that are sitting on shelves or the floor. Each time I need to use these instruments for class, they must be moved by myself or the students into our assigned seating area. It takes approximately 10 minutes of class time distributing and collecting our instruments. Right now, students must sit on the floor to play our instruments. Once on adjustable stands, all instruments can be played by students sitting on our classroom stools or standing. This will open up the opportunity for our students that are unable to sit on the floor the ability to play all instruments. Many of these instruments are heavy for students to carry and some have broken handles due to wear and tear throughout the years. Once on stands, students can easily wheel them into position, allow us to use class time more efficiently, and minimize the risk of more damage to our instruments. My final goal is for all 19 Orff Xylophones on stands. I am currently looking for funding to purchase stands for the heaviest and broken handle xylophones first. I have 3 bass xylophones which take two people to move into position. These are the most important to put on stands. I then added in 5 more stands to use for some of our broken handle xylophones.
