Description: This kit gives children a great opportunity to learn about the different countries in which these instruments come from and what they are traditionally played and used for. The instruments are easy to play although as some children may have not seen them before they may give the child a fun challenge to work it out. The all rounder multicultural pack is also great for the early year centres as there are no mouth piece instruments in the pack. Therefore no need to worry about hygiene. This percussion kit is great for the class to get together and make some fun music. Music brings a great sense of being apart of a team to keep the rhythm going. Children can learn loads with music. Music encourages children to count, use words with singing, be creative with how they play and in what way. Music brings fun to the classroom for everyone. Children can make up songs about things in their lives, they can learn to rhyme, the options with music in a child’s life is endless. It encourages them to be heard, which is fantastic for the timid child.
