“Last year, I taught Bar Basics to Kindergarten and I have never had a group of Kindergartners play so well and be so successful on the Orff instruments. Now they are first graders and they remembered every single word and we are able to do so much more now. Even with the older students Bar Basics has been easy for them to adjust to and they love it. The best part is that you do not have to stop in the middle of a song to go over proper mallet technique. You can just say one word to the class or individual and they immediately change the way they are playing. I cannot say enough positive things about Bar Basics.”

“Since seeing Katie Grace present her Bar Basics, I have started using her technique and wording to teach my students how to properly use the mallets. Holy moly! What a difference. My kids are playing better than they ever have before and it makes it so easy to review correct mallet technique at the beginning of the year. The quick, concise wording really gets at the main parts of mallet technique and breaks it down in a way the kids can understand.”
