A Harmonious First Lyre for Young Children

The Auris Children’s Pentatonic Lyre – 7-String Right-Curved (d–e) is a beautifully crafted introductory lyre designed to support young children’s natural sense of movement, listening, and harmony.

This right-curved pentatonic lyre is the most widely chosen model for families and early childhood settings. Tuned in a pentatonic scale, every tone blends naturally with the next, allowing children to explore music freely without creating dissonance. Even the simplest gestures result in music that feels calm, balanced, and satisfying.

Designed for Natural Movement and Sound

When held in the left hand, the lower strings rest closer to the body. Drawing the hand inward creates deeper, grounding tones, while outward movement produces lighter, ascending melodies. This orientation corresponds to Auris’s “ascending” lyre design. The relationship between movement and sound supports embodied musical learning and attentive listening.

The right-curved shape allows the maple wood body to resonate openly and the longer and thicker strings reveal a sound rich in overtones with a soft, rainbow-like depth.

Who This Lyre Is For

This lyre is well suited for:

• Preschool and kindergarten classroom and home environments
• Early primary grades (through approximately 2nd–3rd grade)
• Parents and teachers without formal musical training
• Parents and teachers of young children up to early primary grades

Its harmonically forgiving tuning makes it especially supportive for circle time, storytelling, transitions, quiet time, singing, choirs, and simple musical games.
