Product Information
Description
The Percussion Plus 27 note chromatic glockenspiel is a strong choice for teaching young children the basics of musical notation and harmony. Its bright, clear tone makes it an engaging school glockenspiel for whole-class music, small-group work and beginner melody playing.
The note bars are arranged in the same way as a piano keyboard, which gives learners a clear visual link between keys and notes. Each bar is engraved with its note name, so younger players can find and remember notes more easily. This makes it a practical glockenspiel instrument for early music learning.
The bars are mounted in a sturdy yellow plastic case with a handle, so the instrument is easy to transport and store between lessons. Folding legs on the bottom of the case improve stability and help the instrument project more clearly in class. This makes it useful both as a classroom glockenspiel and for home practice.
A pair of beaters is also included in the case and is designed to be extra strong for frequent use. Pupils can start playing straight from the box without needing extra accessories.
This Percussion Plus 27 note chromatic glockenspiel is fun to play and suitable for players aged 3 and above. It works well in Early Years, Primary and mixed-ability music sessions where clear note layout and easy handling matter.
If you need other options for your scheme of work, the Percussion Plus 17-note glockenspiel and the Percussion Plus 25-note chromatic junior glockenspiel are also available separately. This gives schools a flexible range of glockenspiels for schools to suit different ages and lesson needs.
