Xylophones for Children
Xylophones and glockenspiels for children, in wood and metal, with coloured bars and a mallet or two.
Notes you can see
A xylophone lays the scale out from low to high, so a child works out the pattern of pitch just by playing along the bars. Coloured bars make it possible to follow a simple songbook long before reading music. Striking a bar is easy, which means success arrives on the first try.
Wood or metal bars
Wooden bars sound soft and round, and they fit a quiet room or a younger child. Metal bars ring longer and brighter, which children usually find more exciting to play. Check that the instrument is properly tuned, because an out-of-tune xylophone teaches an ear the wrong intervals.
