Push Pumps are a playful and colourful instrument set designed to help children develop their musical abilities. By pressing down with your hand, the air inside the pump gets pushed out, making the reed produce a bright and engaging sound.
This set includes one octave with 5 notes, providing a simple yet effective way for children to explore music and rhythm. The instrument can be placed on a desk or flat surface, where children can press or strike the top centre to create their own melody. A slow press produces a long note, a quick press creates a short note, and varying the pressure controls the volume.
Push Pumps not only encourage fun play but also promote essential developmental skills for young children, such as coordination and motor skills. Each instrument features a colourful note sticker with a bird motif, making it easy for children to identify notes and follow along. Additionally, the clearly marked centre of the striking surface helps children create the best possible sound, encouraging listening and an understanding of pitch. Push Pumps offer a hands-on, interactive approach to learning music in a way that’s both enjoyable and educational.
