Niamh Egan - Chair of Greystones Playground Committee Ireland - Greystones, Co Wicklow, Ireland

Nothing 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!

Niamh Egan - Chair of Greystones Playground Committee Ireland. - Greystones, Co Wicklow, Ireland

I 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.

Laurel Sharp - Children's Librarian, Liverpool Public Library, - New York, USA

We 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.

Aldersro Elder Centre – Director - Svendborg, Denmark

The musical instruments are a great success! They have encouraged the residents outside, to take longer walks, laugh, talk and socialise.

Case Study

Elder Centre Skovhuset (Head of Physiotherapy) - Denmark

Once installed we quickly saw that the area with the instruments in became a place to socialise and has become a place where families go to play together. They have also been especially beneficial to our residents with dementia as they encourage them to go outdoors and to use the music to help them communicate.

Rashida Sabbir - Director of Pan India Play -

"Outdoor musical instruments are unheard of to most in India and most people are amazed and thrilled by the concept! Some have seen them (and loved them) on their travels abroad but never have they seen them installed back home, which is exactly why I wanted to get this to India."

Rachel Hayden - Medina House Community Special School - Isle of Wight, UK

We’re very happy with the outdoor musical instruments we have here at Medina House. Staff working with our pupils with more complex physical needs have reported that the instruments have been great motivators during physio and OT work, encouraging pupils to stand for longer periods of time, or stand and use their physical skills independently. They’ve also reported how great it is for the pupils to have independent access to the instruments to develop their play and offer more creative activities and alternative opportunities when they are out on the playground. They’ve been useful in helping to improve inter-class communication and social skills at playtime.

Case Study

David Collier - Coastal Activity Park Manager - Boscombe, Dorset UK

Our harsh seafront environment is notoriously unforgiving on metal installations, but six months in the outdoor musical instruments look as good as they did on installation day. The public reaction to them has been fantastic! From the off, contact with Percussion Play was both friendly and professional and we have seen this continue after sales.”

Trip Advisor - Boscombe, Dorset UK

We both love playing on the musical instruments, and love it when we are playing on the beach and paddling in the sea you can hear the chimes from the pier!

Case Study

Music Therapist - Søllerød, Denmark

We’ve just installed the instruments and both I and several of the staff have had fun with the residents in the new musical garden. One lady in her 70’s has moderately severe dementia,. When she was younger she would play the piano, however whenever I tried playing the piano with her during our sessions she would become frustrated and upset because she was no longer able to play ‘correctly’. However, taking her into the garden to play the pentatonic instruments which she could just play and explore, with no wrong notes, her senses were opened and music making became enjoyable again.
