Percussion Plus have produced and incredibly sturdy soprano diatonic (white note) xylophone with coloured note bars which would make a great addition to any classroom or ensemble.
The note bars, ranging from C52 - A73 are mounted to a highly durable and solid wood frame, allowing the sound to carry exceptionally well. Like all the other models in the Percussion plus Harmony line-up, the soprano xylophone has precision cut tone bars for exceptionally accurate tuning and the quality of the sound is superb.
The instrument comes complete with 2 beaters and also three extra notes, 2 x F# and 1 x Bb, so as well as playing in the key of C you can also change to the key of F and G major.
The attractive and brightly coloured note bars are perfect for any school environment and will be thoroughly enjoyed by any young student. They are produced from padauk and are accurately tuned with an exceptional build quality. The design will last well in challenging classroom environments and the wooden lip on each side also allows for it to be easily picked up and moved.
Teaching music to young groups requires plenty of coordination, technique and concentration, and sometimes it can be difficult to get cohesive tunes out of your whole class ensemble.
Relating specific colours to specific notes can be engaging and helpful for young students learning the basics of music notation, enhancing their development from the early stages. Drawing on this concept, Percussion Plus make a range of brightly coloured, accessible instruments which are great for teaching young students basic musicianship without needing to worry much about technique - the Colour & Play series.
All the instruments in this series are coloured according to Percussion Plus' Colour Matching Note System, so anyone can enjoy playing without prior knowledge of musical notation. Check out the whole Colour & Play range here!
For example, these note bars have been coloured-coded so that they match the following products:
