Here’s how you can make use of all those extra percussion instruments lying around in the classroom!

Dear Friend,

I’ve been a percussion teacher for over ten years, and I’ve visited hundreds of schools. In heaps of these schools I’ve found instruments lying around in cupboards and boxes that never get used! Its such a pity that such great instruments get forgotten, and just guitars and drums get played.

I told myself I would never be like that, and I would never allow the instruments to go under-utilized. That was until one day I realized that the only use the concert xylophone was getting was when the guitarist put his case on top of it!

That was the day I decided to write a percussion showcase like no other! I wanted to show off the xylophone, the vibraphone and all the underutilized bits that were around the music room. I wanted to get the percussion ensemble playing something that people would sit up and take notice of, and really showcase these under-utilised instruments.

Introducing…

Click here to listen to the recording:

Have you ever wondered what to do with those extra claves, ago go bells whistles and mixed percussion lying around the classroom? Get them all polished and ready to play for this exciting, light and musically inspiring redition of a Caribbean influenced tune!

Through playing this piece your students will develop new skills on how to play some exciting rhythms on the auxiliary percussion instruments, and they will also develop that innate sense of teamwork to pull of the enhancing dynamics and musical effects.

The Piece opens with a gradual percussion build up – this is a great start for a school percussion ensemble, because all you need is a reliable student to start, and you are sure to be off successfully. It is much more reliable than an “all in” start for some groups.

 

Our happy melody eventually comes in, and in Rondo form this piece continually returns to this theme.

In this piece three of the tuned percussion players get to really feature, with 16 bar solos. They are written out, or the players can improvise if they wish.

There is then a flexible percussion break, which gives you the chance to highlight any untuned percusison players who are shining in the group

So, if you are looking for something to inspire your ensemble to play their tuned percussion, and to get the all those miscellaneous bits and pieces out with, then this is the one.

You can even incorporate your own instruments, more than just what is in the score.
