This classroom percussion pack offers a rich variety of authentic and engaging instruments, from soft egg shakers and rattling caxixi, to resonant wood blocks and melodic ocarinas. The wide range of textures and tones invites children to explore different sounds and develop their musical creativity. Featuring traditional African percussion, this set is ideal for teaching rhythm, dynamics, and world music traditions. The included CD and durable storage box make it a complete, ready-to-use resource for inspiring young musicians.
These instruments have been carefully selected to encourage children's musical development throughout KS1 and KS2. The selection supports hands-on exploration, helping younger learners develop rhythm, coordination, and listening skills in a fun and accessible way. As they progress, they build on these foundations through group performance, pattern recognition, and engaging in more structured musical activities. Aligned with the National Curriculum, this set supports key objectives like creative exploration and ensemble performances. This progression not only improves musical understanding but also promotes confidence, communication, and teamwork.
Honestly Made instruments are beautifully handcrafted using natural, sustainably sourced materials like bamboo, gourd, seeds, and recycled elements. Ethically produced in small, family-run workshops across countries like Africa, Asia, and South America, each instrument is made following fair trade principles. Their eco-friendly construction makes them not only responsible choices but also inspiring tools for music education. Perfect for teaching students around the world, these instruments encourage cultural appreciation, creativity, and global awareness through sound.
Everyone can get involved in making music with this multicoloured and visually stimulating pack. There’s no level of musical talent or experience needed for these instruments, so the whole class can get busy with fun musical activities!
This pack is supplied with a versatile storage box, which is a convenient and cost-effective way to organise your classroom musical equipment. Constructed from tough double-walled cardboard, these boxes are built to handle the demands of a busy school environment.
Spacious and lightweight, they are the ideal storage solution for many of our popular classroom percussion sets. They’re also a sustainable alternative to plastic tubs, making them perfect for your percussion pack.
Each box also features carry handles, making transport easy for staff and students alike. Plus, they come securely packed inside a larger outer carton for added protection during delivery, ensuring your box arrives safely.
