In the 1920s, Carl Orff (of Carmina Burana fame) developed a method of teaching children about music that focuses on treating music just like the spoken word – starting with just a few notes and continually adding complexity as time passes. The Orff method necessitated a collection of simple, non-intimidating musical instruments to teach the foundations of western melody and harmony in a group setting – what is more well suited for the job than drums and rudimentary keyboard percussion instruments?
Each Orff keyboard instrument has removable bars and is designed to be stored and moved easily. The AXP 2.1 Primary Alto Xylophone Add-On has 7 FSC certified, Pao Rosa keys that add to the AXP 1.1. These keys are tuned from C#1 to Bb2 (C#1, D#1, G#1, C#2, D#2, G#2, and Bb2). The resonator box is made from sturdy birch wood. This instrument is a great tool to use on the elementary music level.
