Thousands of organizations have come to 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 different 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.
“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!”
Case StudyWe 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,”
Case StudyIn 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!"
Case StudyWe 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
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!'
All instruments arrived undamaged and in good condition. I have completed the assembly and they will be going in the ground, hopefully, within the next two weeks. I also want to mention that the quality of the workmanship and assembly instructions were excellent. I noticed on each carton that a list of the contents was on the outside with a check box for each item and a place for the employees signature who, evidently, filled the box. This example of quality control was very much appreciated by this engineer.
The music garden is so accessible. I see people in wheelchairs, grandparents, the other day I even saw a baby in someone's arms playing the instruments! It's a unique experience to see how intergenerational music really is and how accessible it can become. Music can be fun when people are not pressured to hit the right notes or make the right sound; they're just there to make music with their community.
Case StudyLike a playground which children explore, kids are great at exploring the instruments to create different sounds. Aside from the music program that I run, I'll often find kids playing with them on their own, enjoying the tunes that they are creating. Adults often don't feel like they can play them as they think it won't sound nice, but the good thing about these instruments is that they always sound good, no matter how you play them.
Case StudyI could work through the songs in the Music Book with a few of the students as a way to teach them how to work through and play on a xylophone (Cavatina). It's been a joy to see children and adults discover the instruments in the park and play together. This space is helping children begin their musical education which I have been lucky to enjoy and develop growing up in the City.
Case StudyThe children LOVED the instruments! I teared up watching the little ones jumping over and over again on the Stepping Stones. Thank you, thank you, thank you to you and your team at Percussion Play!
“We were really impressed with Percussion Play’s ability to work with us when it came to the look of the instrument in an indoor setting. The team went over and above in terms of customer service – we had a really great customer experience from the very start of our journey to when we received the instrument – we were really impressed by the company.
Case StudyIt's beginning to heat up here and so the outdoor musical instruments (three sunflower petal drums) are receiving lots of extra attention and use. And, in the June issue of PRB+ an article "Take It Outside" appeared. This article is focused on the Hubbard Public Library's StoryWalk which includes your petal drums!! THANK YOU and all your colleagues at Percussion Play again! Your instruments are totally incredible, and much used and much loved.
Case Study"The children are drawn to the instruments – it's a real highlight of their visit to us. We have families coming and going from the library who always start or finish their trip with a music jam. The beauty of these instruments is that the whole family can play. They're for everyone."
Case Study“It’s a truly intergenerational product, and we continue to see both adults and children engage in play together. We’ve been surprised by how much the park has been used in the cold and grey winter months, but the instruments really draw people to the park. We’re getting rave reviews!”
Case Study“This is an underserved community that often doesn't get the best of the best. When we looked at the Percussion Play website, we fell in love with the quality and how interactive they are. They are extremely durable, too, which is very important. The instruments won’t break and hurt somebody.“
Case Study“We now have music to listen to all day thanks to the position of the ensemble of instruments. Not only are they a hit with our guests- both children and parents, they’re a hit with the entire team here! What’s great about the instruments is that parents are interested in playing them too, so children and parents play together. Thanks to the instruments being on the pentatonic scale, you can never play a bad note, so every tune played is beautiful to listen to. It’s such a joy to hear children and parents jamming together; in my book, every children’s museum should add these to their offering!”
Case StudyMy congregation decided to convert an outdoor space into a musically interactive area that is accessible to all. The Percussion Play website guided us in making our decisions. The staff was extremely helpful throughout the purchase process. Since my congregation is based in South Carolina, USA, the staff at Percussion Play also assisted us with the intricacies of an international order, as well as making sure we had help in navigating U.S. Customs and Border Patrol process. Everything arrived in perfect condition, and the assembly of the various pieces is minimal. If you know how to set a fence post in concrete, you already know how to do the hardest part of the installation (and if you don't have that knowledge, the instruments come with instructions). Our Sound Garden has been a delight for all ages, and we hope to purchase some more instruments from Percussion Play in the coming years to expand the space. I give Percussion Play my highest recommendation.
Case Study"We wanted to go with a company we knew was secure and compared Percussion Play to another large company. We were really drawn to the vibrancy of the instruments, and we could hear the sounds they made on the website. These recordings were really helpful when choosing. We loved the collections from Percussion Play as we wanted them to be vibrant and draw people in. The Rainbow Collection really fits that focus, and we loved the Calypso Chimes and the Rainbow Chimes. We also loved how natural the instruments felt. Being inspired by nature was important, so we chose the Harmony Flowers.”
Case StudyI am so glad we are in partnership with your company. It's a win-win! Thank you.
I can't tell you how very pleased I am (and our school is) with your company from the quality of the products to the customer service from the very beginning to now (and I think the PTO wants to continue this relationship in the future as well)
We absolutely love it. The Lord Mayor of London visited our school and enjoyed listening to the instruments. We’d be interested to add more to the installation through next year and will be in touch if finance allows!
The instruments also help to build fine motor skills as they are learning to play the instruments using the mallets provided. It allows children to release some energy in numerous ways whether they are hitting the bongos, running from flower to flower, or moving from bell to bell. The children are enjoying the outside, while using many different senses to create some wonderful sounds. Lastly, it is aesthetically welcoming to our whole community (visually and physically) as many family members who enjoy stopping and playing whether it be for a quick minute or whether they stay and play for some time.”
Case StudyOur students love to have several friends playing all different instruments all at the same time. The students love to run from one instrument to the other either collaborating with friends or taking some time to create music by themselves. These instruments affirm the love of music in the Bee School they bring so much joy and sound to our campus.”
Case StudyPercussion Play has very good staff members with excellent follow through. They are among the best equipment vendors I've had the good fortune of working with. Their pricing is competitive, and their selection is good. When I couldn't find the item I was looking for, their staff worked with me on a custom design instrument that ended up better than I'd imagined. There was one slight design flaw which they immediately corrected. I highly recommend this company.
Case StudyThe team at Percussion Play was so patient and kind. It felt like an unusual experience as no company I have ever worked with has helped me in that way”.
