Preschool/Kindergarten Orff Music Wish List

  •  

    A new music teacher proudly proudly proclaimed "My school gave me $2500 so I bought a Bass Xylophone!" After asking a few questions, it became clear that this was the only instrument the teacher had for the preschool and kindergarten students! Oh dear, I wish I could have spoken to this teacher first.  Music from an Orff approach means all the children are active in the music making.   We want all the children playing instruments, not just one or two at a time! Here is a Preschool INSTRUMENT WISH LIST (in order of priority).

    Order enough for everyone in the class plus adults, mention your Music Box discount when ordering from www.musicrhapsody.com
