Thousands of organizations have approached us wanting our help to bring music and harmony to their parks and playgrounds, schools, nursing homes, hospitals, hospices, museums and family attractions, and many other settings.
We strongly believe in extending play beyond the traditional, making play inclusive and the positivity of multi-generational interaction. Music has great power for bringing people together and including musical instruments in a park, playground or trail makes music-making irresistible for people of all cultures, ages, and abilities.
Read their reviews of Percussion Play to learn how great outdoor musical instruments have enhanced their outside spaces.
We heard about Percussion Play while we were searching online for potential percussion instruments. We found that Percussion Play had the most competitive prices and best option for what we needed and had options for how we could expand on the music area in the future. Since we purchase items from all over the world, we had no concerns purchasing from a UK based company.
Case StudyIn the art studio we have a section that is all music related, since that is an art form as well. When choosing instruments for this space it was very important to find something durable and that wouldn't be too obnoxious with a bunch of kiddos banging on it. The rainbow trio ensemble is perfect! Before we had this set, we had tried other instruments that fell apart after a couple of weeks. That has not been a problem at all with the rainbow ensemble. No matter how hard the kids bang on the instruments, it always sounds pretty and not obnoxious which is also great! We do use the instruments inside, but they are not too loud or anything. It has been wonderful to see the parents and kids interact together with the instruments. Sometimes we'll have a whole family band back there!
Case StudyI am from Essex, Iowa, USA and we had the pleasure of meeting Robin and installing 3 pieces in our park last year. This weekend we have a community celebration with many activities in the park. I wanted to share with you that I sat for more than 2 hours in the park today and watched people of ALL ages approach and play the instruments. It was so heart warming to watch this and it reinforced the importance of musical instruments to provide a balance of play options in community areas. I have seen this happen on a regular basis but not when so many other activities were being offered at the same time. The small set of musical offerings have been an asset to our project. Thank you for creating such an important product to share the joy of music in community spaces. Janine Johnson Essex, Iowa.
Case StudyI have found the Percussion Play xylophone and drums to be great instruments for use in music therapy at starship children’s hospital. They are durable and weatherproof which means I have been able to use them both inside and outside, and they are easy to wipe down. The pentatonic xylophone has a lovely tone and allows the children to engage in shared music-making without playing any ‘wrong notes’.
Recently Pollard Park in Blenheim has had some brand new percussion instruments, courtesy of Percussion Play, installed in the new playground. The drums, vibraphone and tonal chimes have been met with massive excitement from the whole community. People are going to the park now specifically to check out these instruments! Not only are they colourful and accessible height-wise for children, the quality of the instruments is outstanding, meaning they make a fantastic sound. This robustness means they will stand the test of time and be able to handle being in the outdoors for many years to come. Thank you so much on behalf of the Blenheim community - the percussion instruments have been a roaring success! '
Case StudyEverything was packed and shipped perfectly! Can’t wait to share the reception. Thank you for all you have done! Truly beautiful!
Case StudyIt was like Christmas here the other day as we excitedly tore open boxes. Tape and shredded cardboard flew askew! Could you hear the “oohs” and “aahs” across the pond? The Sonora came out amazing. It’s stunning! We are finishing up the prep work and hope to have it installed by the end of next week! I promise to send pictures!
Case StudyTo make a lasting memorial place for a boy who loved music, colour and butterfiles we investigated purchasing musical instruments. The first website we looked at was Percussion Play and from the first communication with the company we have been very impressed. Everyone has been extremely helpful and the service we have received has been thorough and efficient. We were delighted our instruments arrived quickly, were of an excellent quality and easy to install. We are looking forward to purchasing a new babel drum in the new academic year to complete our special area.
Firstly I would like to thank you for the fast and efficient way you have dealt with our recent order. From the very first contact we have had I have been impressed. I look forward to using you again in the future.
It was so nice to have a playground feature that is so accessible for a wheelchair. Well done to everyone who made this happen. We will definitely be back!
Case StudyAll of a sudden the most beautiful music drifted over on the wind! The kids who live and visit Crawford Bay are so lucky. The Enchanted Playgarden in Crawford Bay Park is fun for kids and adults alike. The musical section of this playground was created by Percussion Play and gives anyone the chance to play some very intuitive instruments that are easy to make sound great. Bring the kids and try them yourselves too! Playing music is not only fun, but one of the few activities that uses your whole brain.
“It’s awesome to hear the music playing and it’s a beautiful, engaging space for students.”
Case Study"The kids experience so much joy when interacting with the instruments. You can see it in their faces that they are delighted."
Case StudyThe new musical instruments have added great educational value to the playground. It has been so fun to watch our kids interact with one another while playing. We especially love the xylophone that has the songs with the color-coded notes to play
The musical playground has been a wonderful addition. Students now have the cultural exposure that gets them excited about the fine arts
Case StudyThese instruments will provide our students a wonderful opportunity each day while at recess to work with their friends to create a wonderful new tune.
Case StudyWithout exception your instruments have brought a little magic and joy to everyone who has walked through the gates of our playground.
Case StudyNothing prepared me for the sheer joy that your instruments brought to our playground. The sound they create alone or together is unique in our town and brings a sense of calmness, relaxation to those in the playground whilst also giving joy and sense of magic to those playing your instruments that this beautiful sound is coming from them!
Case StudyI want to thank you for your amazing instruments that have transformed our sensory area and helped create a truly inclusive sensory experience, for young and old alike, regardless of abilities. I was always disheartened by the playground “music instruments” that I saw in local playgrounds in Ireland, so when I had the chance to influence equipment in our local playground I knew immediately that “real” musical instruments was imperative in our sensory area.
Case StudyWe have been very happy with the instruments. After a year they are still in great shape, and people use them every day. I had a music program every week this summer in the garden with the instruments and it was very popular.
Case StudyBoth children and adults love playing them, it's the first thing the children do, wet or dry run into the garden to enjoy them. They have brought so much joy already.
Case StudyEast Hill House have fund-raised and purchased two of Percussion Plays amazing outside instruments - we would highly recommend them.
The delivery was fast and every thing was packed very well, nothing was damaged or scuffed. I would not hesitate recommending these instruments as they are durable and really some high quality products that should stand any environment.
Case StudyYou guys are the best, thank you so much
Wanted to let you know that we LOVE our new music instruments!!! They sound amazing!
