Thank you for making learning music easy, I am a 64 year old kid, learning music to help as therapy for mild Traumatic Brain Injured. Learning music helps to establish new nuero pathways which I hope helps to rewire the demage parts of my brain.
Great to hear. Music making offers MANY opportunities to develop neurological and motor functions. I hope you will have an opportunity to also receive music therapy services as part of your recovery. I work as a music therapist with TBI patients each week as part of my jobs. musictherapy.org
The idea of removing notes is also a very common practice in improvisation in music therapy! It helps to address various goals such as decreasing anxiety, discovering outlets for creative expression, improving motor skills, and much, much more! Thank you so much for posting this, as a music therapy student it helps me to better explain these concepts to my friends!
Great point. It's important to have ways to increase client participation, such as removing options to make instruments easier to play and create music that works.
1:58 Glockenspiel: It comes from two German words: Glocken which is the plural for 'bells' and 'spielen' which is the infinitive: to play. Loosely translated, it means the ‘bells that play,’ or ‘the playing bells.’ 😉 🎼 ♫
Although "spielen" is German for the verb "play", "Spiel" in "Glockenspiel" is actually a noun which means a set or an arrangement of things that is or can be played.
@@christophertsiliacos8958 -- Yes, it is also interesting that English does not have a corresponding noun, as far as I know, because we have it in Swedish ("spel" as in "klockspel") and it is found also in e.g. French ("jeu").
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I new these were for classrooms mostly. but what I never could understand is since 15 notes are TWO octaves diatonic. Orff instruments are typically 13 notes just two shy of the 15 needed for two octaves. I never understood why leave off those two notes to make 15. But when you put it into easy play pentatonic mode and it had two PENTATONIC octaves suddenly I got the genius of 13 notes. I figured the extra bars on the side were for other keys but your explanation confirmed it. I have seen some of these for $500 and thought the two missing notes was strange but now I get it.
You can use many ethnic instruments in Orff-Schulwerk but it is only the instruments especially made for Orff-Schulwerk that are called Orff instruments, I believe.
Great video once again, love this channel. I am not sure why the distinction between metallophones and glockenspiels is made a couple of times in the video, given that glockenspiels are part of the metalophone family? In any case all these instruments xylophones, metallophones, glockenspiels would be under the umbrella of idiophones (the body of the instrument itself resonates to produce sound) as opposed to membranophones (a membrane resonates to produce sound, as in drums). I am a bit confused by this metallophone VS glockenspiel argument, so anyone that gets it please explain!
Difference in overtone structure/color. Metallophones are mellow sounding, while glockenspiel are chime- or bell-like. Other than that, the way they work and are played is largely the same.

Thank you for this! Young music teacher here 😊
As a new music teacher I really appreciate this explanation! I also love your ukulele DVD. Very helpful!
Thank you!

This reminds me of music class in elementary school!! What a throwback thank you :)
Very cool and informative. I am registered to take the Orff Level 1 course at Univ. of Nebraska this summer and I can't wait.
Very helpful summary
What about Gamelans? Are there any 'ethnic' instruments that you could consider as an 'Orff instrument'?

Hey, great video, but: Austria is Austria and Germany is Germany and Orff and Keetman were from Germany. Xylo is definately Greek. Reseeeeeerch......
