What is a Wooden Xylophone?

A wooden xylophone is a musical instrument made of wooden bars that make beautiful and happy sounds when you hit them with special hammers called mallets.

How to Play the Wooden Xylophone

Playing the xylophone is very fun and easy! Here’s how you can do it step by step:

1. Find Your Mallets: Look for the two small wooden sticks (mallets) that you will use to tap the xylophone bars.
2. Choose Your Bar: Start by picking a bar on the xylophone. You can choose any color! Each one will sound different.
3. Tap Gently: Hold a mallet in your hand and gently tap the bar with it. Listen to the sound it makes. It should be bright and happy!
4. Try Different Bars: Now, try tapping on other bars. Each one will make a different note. You can make a little song by tapping them in order!
5. Have Fun: Let your creativity flow! You can even make up your own tunes and play them on the xylophone.
