How to Use These Helpful Interactive Xylophone Templates
- Display Instrument Set Up. Setting up instruments is time-consuming. Display the template on the whiteboard to facilitate instrument setup. With the touch of a finger or the click of your mouse, you can turn over any bars that should be removed.
- Demonstrate Ostinato or Other Melodic Patterns. These templates provide a simple way to demonstrate melodic patterns from the performer's point of view.
- “Air Play" Practice. Before practicing on instruments, students may use their fingers to “air play” from the board as the teacher models patterns. This quick rehearsal technique greatly improves student success and reduces frustration.
- Paper Practice. Print copies of the xylophone or metallophone slides on card stock. Laminate to preserve templates. Students who are unable to play the instrument safely may play a paper instrument. Or, you can print enough copies for the entire class to practice.
- Rehearsal Station. Use printed or digital templates as a rehearsal station or center.
Note: These interactive templates do not make sound. They are visual templates to facilitate classroom learning.
