Only hand-selected and expertly cured Rosewood is used in the legendary Series 2000. This produces that original warm earthy sound with strong lower harmonics.

Orff Keyboard stands are designed to lift the keyboards to the correct playing height. Those with wheels allow the instruments to be moved around the classroom and into position for ensemble playing. However we do not recommend that these stands are used to transport instruments across a school - the wheels are only small and the frames are not designed to cope with uneven / rough terrain.

Lesson Idea Rhythm and Hand Percussion

Lesson Idea

Action Chant

by Sue Lane, Manager, Professional Development, Musica Viva In Schools

The following rhyme is a simple but effective warm up, great for getting the blood flowing and focusing students in their listening.

To teach the chant: Echo each phrase with actions, gradually building on each phrase until students are confident with the sequence Perform together Perform actions without words (words in your head) to encourage inner hearing and to reinforce the sequence.

Performing as a round: Divide the student group in half to perform the chant as a round, with the second group entering after the first phrase.

Divide the students into three or four groups to perform the round in more parts.

Other ideas to explore: Perform the chant together, clapping every syllable, creating the rhythm of the chant Transfer this rhythm onto drumsticks or chopsticks or other available non-melodic percussion instruments Ask students what they notice about the rhythm of the four phrases. Are they the same? Is there one phrase that has a different rhythm?

Play the rhythm of the different phrases as they are discussed Notate the rhythm of the various phrases.

Include phrases, or parts of phrases as ostinato patterns (repeating patterns) e.g. stamp your feet (rest), stamp your feet (rest) jiggle jiggle jiggle jiggle, jiggle jiggle jiggle jiggle click (rest) (rest)(rest), click (rest) (rest)(rest) Allocate parts with ostinato patterns and non-melodic instruments. Layer in the different patterns to accompany the chant or the rhythm of the chant played on drumsticks or chopsticks.

Compose new lyrics for the chant, including other actions. New compositions could be composed in groups or as a class. This is a great opportunity to work with rhyming and encouraging students to think of fundamental movement skills to include e.g. Jump up high and then crouch down Skip on the spot and touch the ground….

Revisit some of the previous activities from the teaching sequence. The rhythm may vary from the original so there will be new possibilities to explore.

Combine ideas into a structure for performance, with the chant and accompaniment possibilities, new verses and actions.

Designed by Rick Kramer the Joia Tubes were developed to be a more orchestral sounding instrument. Sealing the bottom of the tube and resonating the sound back out through the top of the instrument doubles the resonating effect, allowing for a more sustained note. The stand allows for tremendous flexibility and lets the tubes resonate to their full effect. The Joia Tubes, whether used professionally, educationally or therapeutically, offer rich, melodic and specific pitches that resonate as a beautiful musical instrument .

Drums Lesson Idea

Drum Circles and Activities

Taiko Stands

4 groups of instruments can be used to make up a drum circle or drum activities in the classroom What will you need?

Optimum Low Stand * Shimedaiko floor stand For playing while kneeling

DRUMS Djembes, Bongos, Conga drums are the most commonly used but any drum you play with your hand . A low drum is really useful and you can use the floor tom from your drum kit with a big soft mallet of the low tones / ostinato bass patterns.

WOODEN SOUNDS Including Wood Blocks, Temple Blocks, Claves, Wood Blocks, claves, Rhythm Sticks METAL SOUNDS ncluding cowbells, ( not too many ) finger cymbals, triangles, jingle sticks, and tambourines SHAKERS + SCRAPERS Including maracas, egg shakers, guiros, caxixi, shekeres etc. Use lots of these to balance with the drums.

$74.95 PHDTA/OPT-3516K

Optimum Shimedaiko * Junior Stand For younger students

$89.95 PHDTA/OPT-3516J

START-STOP-PLAY ON The key to a successful drumming activity is leading with visual cues using your hands and body. It is very difficult to use your voice over the top of the drumming.

Visual cues keep the students actively aware and switched on.

This stand allows for a variety of playing positions.

Kalani is a s a certified Orff-Schulwerk educator, a board-certified music therapist, and music presenter at many Orff and teacher training conferences worldwide. He has been a presenter for us at Optimum Percussion several times including a 3 day Drum Circle course where he taught many of the skills for drum activities.

Here are some of his ideas for Starting, Stopping and Play On.

Starting 1.Play a steady beat on an instrument and have the students join you ( copying ) 1 2 Rea-dy Play or 2. Ask the group to play each time you step ( matching ). Gradually increase the tempo until you have a steady pulse. or 3. Use a pulsed vocal cue - 1 2 Rea-dy Play

Play On 1.Roll your hands around in a circular motion to indicate the group should continue to play. You can use this cue to tell a certain selected section of the group “don’t stop” while you stop other players.

This will enable you to explore the many different colours and timbres of the various instruments as you mix it up or do some movement activity in the centre.

Some Opti-Note teaching ideas by Carolyn Watson The following lesson idea is designed to teach pulse and introduce rests in a simple class group reading activity. Hand out enough Boomwhackers, Boomwhacker Coloured Chime Bars, Hand or Desk Bells or Tone Chimes so that each student has a colour coded instrument. Group students together in 8 colour/note groups. This lesson can also be taught using noncoloured tuned instruments by following the note names. Arrange the Opti-Notes on the white board as seen in Ex 1

Ex 1

To teach the exercise: At first, rehearse each bar of the exercise separately so that each group can hold the pulse of four notes accurately and follow a count in.

Perform the exercise in sequence pointing to each disc in time with the pulse.

Ex 2

Ask for volunteers to be the conductor.

Introducing rests: Remove the last disc in each bar and perform the exercise again with the silence pulse being included in the conducting. See Ex 2.

Ex 3

Ask for volunteers to be the conductor.

Divide the students into smaller groups to perform the exercise.

Change the position of the rest in each bar.

See Ex 3.

Extension idea - Harmony: The following chord progression is a simple and effective way to introduce harmony to the exercise. For sustaining instruments such as bell chimes and metallophones play the chord once a bar (as written). You may wish to repeat the chord more often when using non–sustaining instruments such as Boomwhackers and Xylophones.

Other ideas to explore: Perform the exercise with a different colour magnet removed from each bar to create a variety of rhythms. Ask students what they notice about the rhythm of each bar.

EXERCISE

Transfer these rhythms onto un-tuned percussion instruments.

HARMONY

Add words to the rhythms.

Give different rhythms to each group to create new challenges

EXERCISE

Notate the rhythms using graphic or music notation.

HARMONY

Include these rhtyhms as ostinato patterns (repeating patterns) in other lessons.

Boomwhacker Resources Boom Boom! Boomwhackers[R] on Broadway Arr. Gayle Giese

Whacked on Classics Vol 1 and 2

We think that these books are terrific. The CD contains well recorded orchestral music. The score and the Boomwhacker parts are all provided. There is even an excellent piano arrangement of each piece (to use as an alternative when rehearsing or even when performing). You can teach the parts by rote or the students can colour in their notes to match their boomwhackers. All of this music is instantly transferable for use with chime bars and Orff keyboards making it a fantastic resource.

Highly recommended by the staff at Optimum!!!.

Finger-picking and strumming styles are all introduced step by step in pieces which are fun and stylistic.

Orff Books Music For Children Vol 1, 2, 3 Hermann Regner The three volumes of the American Edition contain a wide range of both traditional and new material (speech exercises, games, dances, texts, songs with instrumental pieces, information on how to use the material). Orff-Schulwerk is not a method that should be followed page by page; it is a collection of material that invites original arrangements or variations and the composition of complementary and contrasting material. This edition follows the tradition of Schulwerk editions from other countries and contains some vocal and instrumental material from the original Schulwerk. However, most of the material has been contributed by leading educators that reflects the vast panorama of the cultural heritage of the United States. In all volumes there are several articles, each dealing with a specific topic within the field of Music and Dance Education. These unique volumes provide a rich and varied source of material which will stimulate the imagination of OrffSchulwerk teachers everywhere.

Gunild Keetman (1904-1990) was a composer, performer and teacher who played a critical role in the development and spread of Orff Schulwerk (Orff Schoolwork). Carl Orff frequently said that the Schulwerk could not have come into being without Keetman’s essential contributions. Keetman and Orff had begun their collaboration on the first of an extensive series of books summarizing the kind of music making developed at the Guntherschule, Keetman produced six more collections of pieces between 1932 and 1934.

These were the original Orff-Schulwerk publications.

This book was written in response to a constant demand by educators, music teachers and parents who wanted to know more about "Music for Children", in particular how did Orff's ideas differ from existing 'methods' and how could teachers develop these ideas. Doreen Hall provides the answers to these and other fundamental questions about OrffSchulwerk in this concise booklet, which is a natural extension of her work on the first english adaption. There are important chapters on: the instruments; rhythm and speech; lesson planning; giving demonstrations, etc. Illustrated.

Orff-Schulwerk: Music for Children has proved itself to be a stimulating source of material for music teaching. Carl Orff's fundamental educational ideas have revitalized music education in nursery schools, at all levels of primary and secondary education and in special music schools, based on the concepts that: music, dance and language are inter-related and animated through rhythm. - when children discover, invent, improvise and compose, their experience of music is intensified.

Book Three, subtitled “Advanced: Composing, Arranging, Analysis” parallels the Orff Schulwerk volumes III and V, introducing major and minor modes with functional harmony.

Art and Music Listen and Look Can you Hear It ?

William Lach In this book, young readers are introduced to great music through great works of art. From “The Flight of the Bumblee” to “The Four Seasons” to “Night on Bald Mountain,” beloved music is illustrated by great works of art, and the text and accompanying CD urge young readers to listen for certain instruments. Can you hear the car horns honking, played by clarinets? Can you hear the horses’ hooves, played by castanets? When each CD track is played, young readers will stop, look, and listen as never before. Classical music is filled with unforgettable images. In this book, great examples of pictorial music are matched to masterpieces from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, for an introduction to both music and art appreciation for young listeners.

Included is a CD featuring 12 short works and an introduction to the orchestra and the instruments. $29.95 MP100.1LAC-CAN

About Honduras Rosewood According to one of the worlds leading manufacturers of Marimbas, Ron Samuels from Marimba One rosewoods from Africa, Asia, Central America, and South America are under threat and the kind specifically used for concert-level marimbas which is called Honduras Rosewood (Dalbergia Stevensonii) is grown only in Guatemala, Belize and Southern Mexico. This Honduras Rosewood is highly in demand by concert percussion manufacturers and the exporting and logging is strictly regulated as the supply becomes more limited and expensive.

In light of this pressure on Honduras Rosewood selecting a marimba that is suitable for your school or for personal use is an important decision. These instruments need to offer excellence in sound and functionality as well as good long term service. Please call 02 9744 1829 to discuss your needs.

Bar Tuning All marimbas and xylophones need tuning occasionally. Wood is a natural product and will be affected by weather conditions and playing. If your school has a marimba (or xylophone) that needs tuning please call us and we will help you get it playing in top condition. Spare parts also available for all brands.

Using a proprietary computer assisted method, Adams is the only company producing bars meticulously precision tuned though an incredible sixth overtone in the lower register. This exclusive tuning process gives Adams keyboards the most stable pitch and evenness of sound available, and allows Adams complete control over all aspects of the marimba's sound. Alpha features a dramatic addition to Adams frame design. Adams collaborated with Kessels Granger Design Works to create the newly contoured rails, end pieces, and resonators, all available in many colour and stain combinations.

"I discovered the Malletkat in 2010 after having played diatonic marimbas for 5 years. The Malletkat was just what I was after, to challenge me more and teach me a chromatic instrument. I love the versatility of the Malletkat, which I play in combination with a sound module, iPad apps and a loop station, to enable me to create my own pieces on the fly. I was very pleased to hear that Optimum Percussion started to represent Alternate Mode's Malletkat in Australia a couple of years after I purchased my Malletkat from the US, as dealing with someone in Australia was a lot easier for me. Optimum has been fantastic to deal with, especially when I needed some work done on the Malletkat in 2013. I have used the Malletkat in a couple of musical projects I was involved with, including a project where I split the keyboard and 2 of us played a different sound on 2 octaves each (I own a 4 octave Malletkat Grand), but at the moment I just use it for my own project, Katalytic. I love the fact that I can be my own band and can rehearse at any time that suits me, create new music and break new barriers! I would highly recommend this incredibly versatile instrument to anyone and would recommend Optimum Percussion as the people to deal with." - Zaia Kendall from Katalytic, Queensland AUSTRALIA.

"We all love the Malletkat. This year it has ushered in a huge change to the way we think about tuned percussion.

We have used it at Robert Blackwood Hall, Monash Uni, Hamer Hall and even for a local Parish fete, out on the grass oval last week. We have been able to leave our Timps at school and our Chimes haven’t left the college grounds all year! My initial thoughts were for the sole purpose of pit work, but it has certainly been so much more than that. The most important addition to our percussion dept I can remember." - Douglas Leutchford, Director of Instrumental Music, Mazenod Boys' College, Victoria AUSTRALIA.

“The kids love playing it and the conductors have definitely started to realise the potential of it - at first several of the conductors were a bit sceptical but I got a message from our Convenor the other day that it was fantastic. ” – Nick O’Brien, Instrumental Music Teacher, Willoughby Public (Elementary) School, New South Wales AUSTRALIA

Timpani ď ŹTimpani*ď Źď€ Optimum Percussion are the Timpani Experts Timpani are a long term investment and can make a huge difference to the sound of your ensembles. If well maintained, they can last for many decades.

Call us for expert advice in purchasing the right model for your needs and budget. We know all the sounds, the frames, dimensions and weights, pedal actions, bowl types and shapes. We know which ones are height adjustable, which ones have fine tuners, which ones fit in to small store rooms and which ones wheel the best.

Servicing: Timpani do require adjustment occasionally to keep them in their correct range and to keep the pedals working smoothly. Slipping pedals, missing gauge indices and dodgy wheels can cause major headaches. We know all the brands very well and can provide you with the right heads, correct spare parts and advice to keep your drums working. If needed, we can organise a service person to come to your school or even organise to have the drums shipped to us for servicing. We service every timpani we sell prior to delivery to ensure they arrive to you perfectly adjusted with the pedals balanced, heads clear in pitch and gauges set ready to play. New high quality Pedal Timpani start from less than $3000 per drum.
