When playing the xylophone
Posted by Chris Nguyen on 10/17/2011 3:00:00 PMHey kids!Some things to remember when playing the xylophones in my room:1. Pinchy pinchy...wrappy wrappy....knuckles up...now tappy tappy!2. Make sure your Bellybutton is in front of the "B".3. Tap the bellies of the bars, not the head or toes or the bars will try and jump away!4. Rubber mallets for xylophones, plastic for glockenspiels, yarn mallets for metallophones.5. When removing bars, use both hands and gently lift.6. Treat instruments with respect, and have fun! -
