basis of Carl Orff’s approach to music education, intended
to inspire children to take part in ‘elemental music-making’.
Carl Orff (b. 1895) was particularly interested in the natural
and vital aspects of music. For him, music was one of the
most important means of expressing personality.

Carl Orff

Nonetheless, he was critical of the established music education of the time, because it focused too much on
ensuring that children could perform existing songs as well as possible without being allowed to develop their
own creativity. He went on to collaborate with other musicians in the development of his Schulwerk, or appro-
ach, which combined music, rhythm and dance. He summarized his combination of these three elements in the
term ‘Elemental Music Exercises’. Improvisation was always a key aspect of his approach, the aim being to foster
true spontaneity, use of the imagination and creativity – the real principles of music.
Decades after Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman developed the Orff Schulwerk in 1948, the approach is still valid.

The creative approach to the elements of music, language and movement fosters personal inventiveness, and
thus the creativity and imaginativeness of children in today’s society. The use of play and improvisation during
music-making encourages self-realization in children and fosters their self-confidence and social development.

The nature of Orff’s Schulwerk also offers an array of creative approaches for dealing with the developments,
changes and current conditions within society. The key principle is that ‘Elemental Music-Making’ is “easy to
learn and experience for everyone”. Playing Orff instruments is intuitive and easily accessible to anyone. This
fosters a feeling of inclusion among people of varying ages, with various mother tongues and various cultural
backgrounds via the language of music. In many respects, this communal experience takes precedence over
the individual process of learning, and creativity and imagination come before the musical score and technical
exercises.
The origin of the Orff instruments
Elemental music-making, according to Orff, exists from the very beginning of practical music-making with instruments
that are so easy to play that neither children nor beginners are overtaxed, allowing them to just get on with making music
and to quickly learn to play simple melodies. It was always central to Orff’s music teaching that children should enjoy making
music and, in addition, should be able to develop their personalities and make progress through experience. He believed
that this approach to music education would be more successful than children being forced by a teacher to learn by rote.
In order to put this intuitive, elemental work with music into practice, Orff developed a multifaceted program using
instruments that are easy to play. The instruments he chose originated in the most diverse of cultures and were rooted in
Orff’s search for the elemental and the rediscovery of the history of the intellect, music and various musical cultures
around the world.
Carl Orff assessed the significance he accorded to percussion to be as follows, “Percussion, the most primitive of all
instruments, was of decisive importance for my idea of developing an elemental style of music. It was never accidental
in this; it was essential, generating form and sound, taking on a life of its own as a phenomenon.”
With its chime bars of differing tonal ranges, the xylophone or metallophone, as one of the most highly developed
percussive instruments, represents a milestone in the history of melodic instruments. Xylophones and
metallophones with robust resonator boxes were developed for school lessons. Since Carl Orff integrated chime bars
into his Orff Schulwerk, these items are now sold under the heading of Orff instruments.

Did you know?

Until the 17th century, glockenspiels were actually small bells that were
struck with metal rods. This is where the name glockenspiel came from
(Glocken in German means bells). From the late 17th century onwards, the
small bells started to be replaced by little steel plates, developing into the
glockenspiels that we know today. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was one of
the first well-known composers to employ the glockenspiel professionally
in an orchestra setting. He chose to use a glockenspiel to represent the bird
catcher, Papageno in his famous opera, The Magic Flute (1791). TAG 19

It was very important to us to develop a particularly child-friendly design for our children’s glockenspiels, as was the quality of materials and sound. Instruments that let children
experience the phenomenon of sound for the first time influence their auditory sensibility over the long term. The clean SONOR tuning trains children’s auditory faculties in a
harmonious manner, creating the ideal preconditions for their development as musicians of the future.

With colorful adhesive dots (available at stores selling stationery), you can make it even (see pp. 29 and 30)
easier to accompany a song on the xylophone. As an example, we have used green, red
and blue dots for the basic chords of the C-major scale. The colors help to create a better
overview, and you can immediately tell which notes belong to the C-major scale and which
to the F-major or G-major scales.

We are often asked how many instruments of a specific type we would recommend you to buy. Deep Bass
If you are wanting to equip a school class or an ensemble, you should ensure that the number of xylophones is GBKM 10 16 bars, c-a1, 1 pair SCH 15, C-major scale
greater than the number of metallophones. Xylophones have a shorter decay and are, therefore, suitable for the with f-sharp, b-flat and f-sharp1
playing of melodies and chords. The metallophone decay is relatively long, and it is thus ideally suited to playing GBKM 20 6 bars, sharp: c, d, g, c1, d1, g1,

Primary Metallophones
Primary – The future sounds green!
Primary metallophones support music reading. The bars with the print of the note enable a visual connection between the sheet music and the instrument.
When improvising with self-created melodies the children always have a visual reference to the printed notation. From the other perspective the players get a feeling of
how a printed note sounds like.
All Primary metallophones have 35 x 5 mm (Soprano and Alto) or 35 x 10 mm sound bars with fundamental tuning. The newlyconstructed resonator boxes are made of
solid birch plywood.
The resonator boxes of the SONOR Primary metallophones are FSC™ certified, which means that only timber from well managed forests are being used. In addition an
environmentally safe finish is used, based on shellac, oil and carnauba wax.

Arrange notes as you wish!
No musical instrument is as flexible as chime bars. You can place
chime bars in any order to suit your needs, and your own musical
accompaniments. The design of the KS 40 L 15 SONOR Meisterklasse
instrument set is particularly popular with children, teachers,
preschool teachers and music educators. The notes of the C-major
triad are marked with green dots and musical notes, the F-major
triad notes in red, and the D-major triad notes in blue. You can play KS 40 L 15
hundreds of songs using these three basic chords and thus interpret
them musically with the chime bars.

For example the song: „My Bonnie lies over the Ocean“
My C Bonnie lies F over the C ocean,
My C Bonnie lies C over the G sea.
My C Bonnie lies F over the C ocean,
Please F bring back my G Bonnie to C me.

But aside from that, almost all accompaniments can be

As a company with its headquarters in Bad Berleburg-Aue, Germany, we take our responsibility
to our children and the upcoming generations very seriously. For this reason, it is
important to us not only to produce instruments with excellent sound, but also
to work according to our ecological and social responsibilities.

We continually seek to optimize our operational processes, taking a variety of measures, in order to steadily reduce our demand
for raw materials, our emissions and the volume of waste we produce, as well as selecting the range of raw materials we use as
responsibly as possible. We also follow these principles in the new development and production of our products.

Placing social responsibility at the core of our business philosophy means for us making a contribution to society, caring for our

Responsibility to society, our employees and the region

As manufacturers of musical instruments, we see it as our task to foster active music-making within society. For this reason, SONOR supports projects, initiatives and associations
working in tandem with this aim. For instance, we sponsor up to 50 seminars offering music education training aimed at teachers, preschool teachers and other staff in schools,
preschools and social facilities.

The future of our company is ensured by means of targeted training and further education in various fields. Fair working
conditions, occupational safety, human resources policies based on differing phases of life, and remunerating our staff in
line with negotiated contracts, all of this is a matter of course for our business.

Integral to our business philosophy is the strengthening and safe-guarding of our company’s site at Bad Berleburg-Aue., Germany.
Securing the future of the site of our headquarters is also part of supporting the region in which it is based.
Whenever possible, we involve regional suppliers and service companies, we support cultural events and work together with social facilities.

In addition to small percussion instruments, you can of course use of your own body as an instrument.
It is always with us and can be employed in a variety of ways. Thanks to the way the body is constructed,
different sounds can be made with various parts of it or using its surfaces. Many different sounds can be
produced using your body. You can clap your hands, slap your legs, click your tongue, snap your fingers,
and stamp your feet. These are just some of the ideas for producing different sounds using your body.
Rhythms produced with the body will be perceived by others in a very conscious, intense manner. In this
manner, one can foster integrated perception and creativity in a child, and their search for ways of making
sounds becomes a voyage of discovery around their own body.
Children can be prepared to play instruments by using their bodies as instruments, or by singing, or,
indeed, by speaking rhythmic syllables. It makes it even easier to introduce them to learning new songs
and pieces of music.

The timpani are instruments with a specific pitch. This means that, unlike drums, they can be tuned to particular
notes. They arrived in Europe from Arabia in a reduced form during the 13th century. From the 17th century
onwards, the timpani gained in significance within orchestral music. Carl Orff developed a school timpani for his

During the last decades, the Cajon [Spanish: box] became
one of the most popular percussion instruments of our
time.
Originally, banana boxes were used by South American
slaves as an alternative for their traditional drums. So,
the Cajon became a symbol for freedom, creativity and
fun in making music. Numerous factors have influenced
the further development of the instrument over the
years. Today, it’s hard to find a style of music that has not
experimented with Cajon sounds yet.
We from SONOR worked together with national and
international professionals to develop a multiple range
of Cajons that confirms our high-quality standards of
premium workmanship and excellent acoustics. Whether The standard model has a body made of beechwood and The model Grande is our best-seller model. The snare
