Xylophones have a long history. However, they were not used in modern orchestras until 1874. They are particularly popular in music in Asia and Africa. The musical instrument consists of bars, usually made of wood but also of metal or crystal and stone, which are struck with mallets. This produces the sound. The different tones are created by the different lengths of the sticks and the force with which they are struck.
This instrument is also very popular with children. It is often even one of the first musical instruments in the nursery. When children come into contact with an instrument, they want to play it straight away. However, many instruments are still too complex for children and too big for their small hands. The xylophone is a very suitable instrument here, as it is easy to understand and visible. Children can experiment with the xylophone, improvise or even play from sheet music.
