In the 1920s, Carl Orff (of Carmina Burana fame) developed a method of teaching children about music that focuses on treating music just like the spoken word - starting with just a few notes and continually adding complexity as time passes. The Orff method necessitated a collection of simple, non-intimidating musical instruments to teach the foundations of western melody and harmony in a group setting - what is more well suited for the job than drums and rudimentary keyboard percussion instruments?
Intended for younger children, the Teddy Bear Face Drum from Sonor Orff is a great way to get children excited about playing music. This 8" drum has a pre-tuned, natural head with a bear face printed on it and even has ears attached to the frame and is sure to be fun for children!
