Percussion Plus Sound Discovery percussion pack: A SEND classroom music set

The Sound Discovery Percussion Pack has been carefully crafted to help teachers introduce music in a way that is simple, engaging, and accessible for all learners.

The instruments have been selected to offer a wide variety of sounds, textures, and playing techniques, encouraging pupils to explore rhythm and sound through movement and touch. Because every instrument is non-tuned, pupils can participate freely without worrying about playing incorrect notes, helping to build confidence and encourage creative exploration.

The pack combines traditional percussion instruments from around the world with modern sensory instruments, creating a rich palette of sounds suitable for classroom music lessons, SEND environments, and small group activities.

Designed to support SEND teaching

This pack has been developed to support SEND teaching approaches, where accessibility and engagement are key.

The instruments in this pack have been selected to:

  • Provide clear tactile and auditory feedback
  • Allow pupils to participate through parallel play or structured rhythm activities
  • Encourage exploration without fear of failure
  • Support a wide range of learning needs and abilities

The result is a percussion set that works equally well in mainstream classrooms, SEND departments, and music therapy settings.

Resourceful music making

To help teachers get started quickly, the Sound Discovery Percussion Pack is supported by a set of downloadable classroom resources designed to make running percussion activities simple and accessible.

The Meet the Instruments guide introduces each instrument in the pack, explaining where it comes from, how it is traditionally used in music, and how pupils can begin exploring its sounds.

Teachers can also access a demonstration lesson plan designed specifically for this pack, offering a structured starting point for exploring rhythm, listening, and group music making in the classroom.

Sustainable storage container

This pack is supplied with a versatile storage box, offering a convenient and cost-effective way to organise your classroom musical equipment. Made from tough double-walled cardboard, it’s designed to withstand the demands of a busy school environment while remaining lightweight and easy to handle. Spacious and durable, the box is ideal for storing many of our popular classroom percussion sets. Integrated carry handles make transport simple for both staff and students, and each unit is securely packed within an outer carton to ensure it arrives in excellent condition.

Constructed from recyclable materials and FSC-certified sources, this storage box provides a more sustainable alternative to traditional plastic containers. By reducing reliance on plastic and using lighter materials, it helps lower both waste and transport-related emissions. With thousands of percussion packs sold each year, this move to cardboard storage makes a meaningful contribution to reducing plastic waste. The result is a practical, durable solution that supports a cleaner, more environmentally responsible approach to classroom storage.
