It is a singing instrument whose body is shaped like an eighth note (it also somewhat resembles a tadpole, "otamajakushi" being Japanese for "tadpole"), with sound emerging from a "mouth" on the notehead. It requires two hands to play: while one hand holds and squeezes the "head", the other hand controls the pitch of the tune by placing the finger on a ribbon controller on the stem; a higher position on the stem creates a lower sound.
In the music room we can use these for a number of fun activities. From pitch matching to melodic shape, or even centers working on finger dexterity these versatile little instruments are sure to become a class favorite.
plus,, they're REALLY cute!
