Designed for KS1 and KS2

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.

The Honestly Made range

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.

Play together

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!

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.
