Steel Pan Percussion Only Sets

Introducing a group of percussion instruments that can be shaken, struck and tapped will aid aural exploration in early years.

My Percussion Buddies Book will show you how to add hand percussion to ANY ensemble – not just to African Drumming. Extensive online audio and video support is included.

The hand percussion instruments can be used in a variety of scenarios and support other musical activities across all the years.

With three of each type of instrument, solid textures can be produced, as well as interesting and exciting cross rhythms.

Small and compact, these instruments can be stored away easily.

With two of each instrument, call and response games can be effective as each player can efficiently mirror their counterpart.

With this ad-on pack you will be able to begin to employ the Percussion Buddies approach to any Steel Pan lesson. It will help you create a wide range of musical colours and textures to you music making.

Adding percussion to any Steel Pan group adds layers of interest to the sound and broadens pupils’ understanding – all for very low cost.

A full set of hand percussion can be a great addition to an existing steel pan set up so that you can have entire rhythmic breakdown sections of your own composition.

Core rhythms to the melodies can be practised using hand percussion before moving on to the pitched Steel Pans.

An excellent choice to bolster your existing classroom percussion, or to top up your steel pan collection with some alternative instruments for timbre variation.

Create a visually impressive scene when performing by having the steel pans flanked by two sets of hand percussion musicians playing supporting rhythms.
