(from Greek xylo - tree + background - sound)- with a certain pitch. It is a series of wooden blocks of different sizes, tuned to certain notes.
The bars are struck with sticks with spherical tips or special hammers that look like small ones (in the jargon of musicians, these hammers are called “ goat legs»).
Xylophone tone sharp, clicking in forte and soft, gurgling in piano.
Origin, history
It has an ancient origin - the simplest instruments of this type were and are found to this day among different nations Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America.
In Europe, the first mention of the xylophone dates back to the beginning of the 16th century: Arnolt Schlick, in his treatise on musical instruments, mentions a similar instrument called hueltze glechter. Until the 19th century, the European xylophone was a fairly primitive instrument, consisting of about two dozen wooden blocks, tied into a chain and laid out on a flat surface to play. The ease of carrying such an instrument attracted the attention of wandering musicians.
Improvements to the xylophone date back to the 1830s. Polish musician Mikhoel Guzikov expanded its range to two and a half octaves, and also changed the design, arranging the bars in a special way in four rows. This model of xylophone was subsequently used for more than a hundred years.
On a modern xylophone, the bars are arranged in two rows like piano keys, equipped with resonators in the form of tin tubes and placed on a special table-stand for ease of movement.
The role of the xylophone in music
First known case use of the xylophone in the orchestra - Seven Variations by Ferdinand Cauer, written in 1810, in the mid-19th century. The French composer Kastner included his parts in his works.
One of the most famous compositions, in which the xylophone is used - a symphonic poem by Camille Saint-Saëns " Dance of Death"(1872).
Currently The xylophone is used in a symphony orchestra, on the stage, and extremely rarely as a solo instrument.

We place the large xylophone keys on the left, the small ones on the right.
Large keys are low tones, small keys are high. The smaller the key, the higher the sound.
Pitch Notes- on the xylophone diagram there are 2 sizes of keys, from large to small from left to right. They indicate the pitch of a note. Large keys are played on the left side of the xylophone, small keys on the right.
The height of the rectangle in the diagram will indicate the corresponding key in height.
Duration– the width of the keys indicates the duration of the note.
A square is half, half a square is a quarter, etc. The thinner the note, the shorter the duration.
Exclusive Semitsvetik technique, step by step.
- Learning to play the "Seven-flowered" pattern on the xylophone
- Learning notes by verse
- We remember the visual correspondence of the melody to the written colored notes.
- Melodies and songs are selected according to the repertoire of piano textbooks for primary education
- We switch to the piano, playing familiar melodies.
From xylophone to piano.
The xylophone keys are located in the same way as the piano keys, this formed the basis of the Semitsvetik teaching method. We use a xylophone with colored keys as the baby’s first instrument; we play the xylophone according to the Seven-Color pattern. The bottom line is that, having learned to play the xylophone, the child will easily move on to playing the piano. At the same time, he will not only learn to play, but will also know the notes, their names and locations. We tried to select melodies that traditionally begin learning with, so the child will be familiar with the repertoire in advance and will easily master playing any instrument.
Xylophones are made of natural wood, set to 40 percent humidity, and slight changes in tuning are possible when humidity changes. As humidity increases, the pitch decreases; as humidity decreases, it increases. If the tuning changes significantly, you can adjust the xylophone yourself:
- to lower the tone, sand the key from below or make a notch in AVERAGE parts, on the bottom plane
- to increase the tone, sand the bottom of the key EDGES(on the lower plane of the protruding parts).
FLIGHT FX-12R Xylophone (12 notes)
It is quite obvious that a child’s first musical instruments should be as simple and accessible as possible. Take, for example, the drum, maracas or pipes, the process of playing which even a two-year-old toddler can master. However, with their help it is unlikely that it will be possible to introduce a child to the world of art. Another thing is xylophones and metallophones, where each plate corresponds to a specific note. Both of these tools have characteristic features, which will be discussed in our article.
Definitions
XylophoneXylophone– a self-sounding musical instrument of a percussion group. It consists of chromatically tuned wooden blocks of varying lengths arranged in a row. The plates are mounted on a stand and tuned to specific notes. The xylophone is distributed throughout the world, but is most popular in Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America. To extract sound from the blocks, you need to hit them with special wooden hammers or sticks with ball-shaped tips, which are included with the instrument. The first mention of the xylophone dates back to the 16th century. At that time, the instrument was a rather primitive device, consisting of two dozen wooden plates connected to each other. To extract sound they had to be laid out on a flat surface. Due to its ease of transportation, the instrument was actively used by traveling musicians. The xylophone was improved in the 1830s.
Glockenspiel Glockenspiel- percussion musical instrument. It consists of a series of plates fixed horizontally around the perimeter of a wooden body. To produce sound, you need to hit them with special sticks or hammers. The instrument got its name due to the material from which the plates are made. Obviously, we are talking about metal, in most cases brass or bronze. The ancestor of the modern musical attribute was the glockenspiel, which came from Asia and was based on bells. In the 19th century they were replaced by metal plates.
Comparison
As can be seen from the above definitions, the main difference between musical instruments lies in the material used to make the plates. The xylophone consists of wooden blocks arranged in a row. The plates of the second tool are made exclusively of metal. This explains their louder and more sonorous sound. The xylophone plays much quieter and more interesting. As a result of hitting the plates with a wooden hammer, you can hear dull, but at the same time quite pleasant sounds that do not hurt the ear. If we talk about professional instrument, then in forte its timbre is sharp and clicking, and in piano it is soft and gurgling. This sound gives the xylophone a special charm.
Both instruments under consideration are divided into two main types. Diatonic xylophones and metallophones consist of a single row of plates that follow the arrangement of white keys on a piano. Such simple instruments are often used as toys for children and are made in the appropriate design. Musical attributes of the chromatic type have a more complex structure and deeper sound. The plates in them are arranged in two rows, similar to white and black piano keys. The capabilities of such tools are much wider, but mastering them will be much more difficult. Another difference between a xylophone and a metallophone is that the former is often used in a symphony orchestra. His parts are included in the works of famous composers. The metallophone is considered primarily an amateur and even children's instrument. While its related bells are often present in the orchestra.
To summarize, what is the difference between a xylophone and a metallophone.
