You can hold them vertically or horizontally, keeping your hands relaxed and your wrists slightly bent. Secondly, gently hit the mallet on one of the xylophone’s plates. Where you hit the plate affects the loudness and the tone of the sound. you need to hit the plates hard to create a clear and expressive sound. You can tap the plates with the tip or the edge of the mallet. In the third step, you should tap different parts of the plates to play different notes. Each plate is tuned to a specific note. By following the notes of a song, you can play the melody with a xylophone. In the fourth step, you need to keep a steady rhythm to play smooth melodies. You can keep the rhythm by using a metronome or by counting in your head. Also you can start with simple rhythms at first and gradually increase your speed and level step by step.
