In the Orff Schulwerk approach to music education, the right accessories are just as essential as the instruments. They facilitate ease of playing and storage and contribute to the instruments' overall sound quality and longevity. From instrument carts and stands to glockenspiel bar holders and timpani heads, these accessories and the brands that make them are essential for a well-equipped Orff classroom or performance space.
Instrument carts are a practical solution for storing and transporting Orff instruments. These carts make moving instruments around a classroom or to different performance venues easy. They also help keep the instruments organized and safe when not used. An Orff stand is designed to hold various Orff instruments, including xylophones, metallophones, and glockenspiels. These stands are often adjustable, allowing for flexibility in terms of height and angle, catering to players of different ages and sizes.
Studio 49 stands are renowned for their durability and stability. Explicitly designed for Orff instruments, these stands are adjustable and easy to set up, making them a favorite among music educators and professional musicians.
A xylophone or glockenspiel stand is crucial for any Orff ensemble. It provides a stable and ergonomic platform, ensuring the instrument is at the right height and angle for comfortable playing. This is particularly important for young learners still developing their playing technique.
The Remo rototom stand is an innovative accessory in the Orff instrument family. It is designed to rotate or tilt, allowing players to adjust their instrument's position quickly for optimal playing comfort and sound projection.
Just as important as the stand that holds the instrument, xylophone, and glockenspiel bar holders are small but essential accessories. They secure the bars, preventing them from moving or falling off during playing. These holders are crucial for the maintenance and longevity of the instrument's bars.
Beyond the typical xylophones and glockenspiels commonly associated with Dorff, timpanis provide color and variety to play, and timpani heads are critical to the timpani’s sound and overall performance. Quality timpani heads ensure that the instrument produces a clear, resonant tone. Regular replacement and maintenance of timpani heads are vital for preserving the sound quality of these percussion instruments.
