A Lyre Guide For Parents & Early Childhood Teachers 

A Guide to Playing the Pentatonic Children’s Lyre is a practical, approachable introduction to the 7-string pentatonic children’s lyre, written for parents, caregivers, and early childhood teachers wishing to bring live music into daily rhythms.

Created for beginners, this thoughtfully structured booklet introduces musical notation gradually, alongside simple melodies, songs, and improvisational ideas. The pentatonic tuning allows music to unfold without discord, making it especially supportive for early childhood settings and home use—even for adults without prior musical training.

Music for Daily Rhythms & Storytelling

The authors explore how lyre music can accompany bedtime, quiet moments, movement play, and storytelling, offering guidance for improvisation that responds to mood, imagination, and narrative. Clear, practical instruction is included for tuning, string replacement, and understanding the lyre’s layout, along with pedagogical reflections and reference materials.

This slim yet substantial guide is widely regarded as a foundational resource for Waldorf-inspired music making with children.

Perfect solution

Incredible value - solves our phone charging needs without bulky chargers attached to traditional extension cords… aesthetically superior with outlet cover and flat cord that we plan to conceal between tiles. A+

Great Extension Cord for hard to reach places.
Size: 5FT, Color: White
Wasn't sure if I would like this or not but I really do. We have the stand up version (not by same vendor) but really liking this smaller version that I was able to stand on edge and not take up valuable room on my side table. We used it for the outlet under the bed to the bedside table. Has enough power to run multiple items with no issues. I like that it comes with USB, C, 2 prong, 3 prong. I didn't use the included cover but that was because we had something else plugged into the other socket.

Decent

I needed a heat gun to make it a little more pliant to get the kinks out but otherwise I loved it
