What our customers say

“I discovered Percussion Play at the ACA conference in Orlando in 2023 and decided to place an order via their new app. It’s a great feature for camp Directors like myself to use, and I encourage others to download it to help bring their musical programs to life!”

Raina Baker, Executive Director,

Camp Beausite (Camp For People of All Abilities)

Case Study
We knew when we saw the Petal Drums that they would fit perfectly in the Music Garden and the little children would be excited by them. We then looked at other options and added in the Rainbow Cavatina – something our older kids are loving – they get to play recognizable tunes!” “We knew that we would be getting a high-quality product, and it has been a huge hit with our campers,”

Alex Eadie, Senior Director of Advancement,

Jewish Community Centre of Greater Buffalo (JCC)

Case Study
In the theatre, we host performances where professionals, such as the Santa Fe Symphony, come and perform. It's beautiful to see how Percussion Play's instruments align nicely with what is going on in the theatre. We see kids reflect what is happening on stage—they copy and make their own music!"

Hannah Hausman, Executive Director,

Santa Fe Children's Museum

Case Study
We had a pollinator garden at the entrance to our center and we were looking at ways to rejuvenate the garden as it was a lot to maintain so we were really looking at ways to enhance what we already had. A science center near us had a range of Percussion Play instruments, so we were inspired to create a musical garden using these instruments as we were so impressed by them

Curtis Wolf - Director,

Kansas Wetlands Center

Case Study
'We have been absolutely thrilled with the music equipment supplied by Percussion Play. Our Early Years and Key Stage 1 children use it on a daily basis, enriching both learning and play. It is a joy to see them enjoying it so much and a year on it still looks as good it did on day one. Thank you!'
