Instruments & Accessories

Beautiful, tactile musical instruments from around the world

Our instruments come from many of the world’s cultures and regions: Africa, South East Asia, South America, the Caribbean, Japan . . .

And what they all have in common is that they’re easy to play: it’s possible to make a satisfying sound within minutes, and in most cases to master the basics in less than an hour. This makes them perfect musical instruments for educational and community use, as well as for individual playing at home, as it means that the physical and mental benefits of music-making begin on day one.

You’ll find below a very wide range of musical instruments and also some useful accessories, designed to make the instruments even more accessible.

Do visit our Teaching Resources section for lots of mainly free teaching and learning support – videos, audio, cultural info, lesson plans and more.

All Drums for Schools instruments and accessories are fully guaranteed – please see product info for full details.

Everything was delivered fine and extremely quickly. The early years children love the instruments, we have our own Forest School band and they work nicely with our forest xylophone and other homemade wooden instruments we have hanging in our trees.
Thank you very much, fantastic products at great prices.
