Subject: RE: Baby's First Instrument?
That's true...

You wouldn't believe the training that my wife had to get to be a "certified" Orff teacher... Or the expense... Orff instruments are not cheap... Bass Metalaphone is like $1000-$1300... Throw in the xylaphones, glockenspiels, chimes, drums and another 50 miscellaneous unpitched percussion instruments and a good Orff teacher has $10,000 in instruments...

Throw in the training, not to mention that she also had a BA in Music, and you are talkin' serious $$$$ to be a certified Orff Teacher...

But when you hear what a group of 4 and 5 year olds can do, it's amazing... First time I heard one of their "performances" I was blown away...
