Orff Instruments For New Orff Classroom

My students need a bass xylophone for our Orff instrument collection in music class.

My Students

Help complete our Orff instrument collection! We recently started our collection but need a bass xylophone to round out the instruments.

Our students are wonderful and very musical.

Our building houses many families just coming to America as well as a very diverse population. They love music class and I want to give them the experience of putting our music learning into practice through an Orff ensemble in class.

My Project

We are requesting one bass xylophone to round out the low end of our instruments. With this instrument, it will allow us to work in instrument groups of 5 students. Students learn so well through instruments and will be able to put our music literacy into practice through many Orff activities. This will be used by 18 classes of students weekly.

This donation would be great to supplement our limited budget for instruments.

Having recently began Orff Level 1 training, this would be great tool to continue that learning in my classroom.
