The second volume in the Creative Sequence series, Xylophone and Other Barred Percussion is a sequential curriculum of folk songs, original compositions, and creative student activities to teach melodic and harmonic objectives through the use of barred instruments. Organized as a ready-to-teach series of lessons, this volume is also intended to be a guide for creative teachers to design their own lessons, and incorporate barred percussion into their existing sequential curriculum.
