Guiro Metal

Another modern twist on a traditional instrument. This guiro is played by holding the spiral on a surface or held in the hand, the metal stick can then be used to create a variety of sounds.

The spiral can also be wobbled to create a unique sound. When using this instrument, children have the opportunity for aural development including recognising dynamics, pitch and texture. In addition to this, children develop processes such as experimentation and manipulating objects to explore cause and effect.
