The ‘Bambajam Symphony Kit’ is a three octave chromatic xylophone with a unique feature - each key can be removed and played as a single instrument.

As a Xylophone, it looks similar to the Piano in that sharps and flats are black, whilst natural notes are blonde bamboo. Keys can be configured in any order on the frame so students use only the notes they need for their part of the arrangement.

Alongside traditional music education, the Bambajam methodology is designed to develop important social skills through creative problem solving. Bambajam Pelangi (Early Years and Primary) and Symphony (Secondary) help students build confidence in performing, whilst learning to read music notation.

Bambajam has undergone a rigorous programme evaluation at Green School, Bali. Voted year-after-year as the ‘Worlds Greenest School’, it places a high value in both holistic, and cross-curriculum education.

This wonderful instrument can help with all aspects of EY development, including:

Sensory and/or physical needs

* Self-played:
- Easy to hold and play
- Develops eye-hand coordination, dexterity and control
- Movable keys for explorative play
- Coloured keys with animal designs help children identify with each note
- Library of music packs, backing track, flashcards and more
- Ergonomic keys and mallets with shorter and wider handles
* Practitioner-facilitated play:
Using the unique double-sided frame, students sit opposite each other and play music together. This creates a bond as they communicate through the instruments as well as the music. As single pitched instruments, groups play together in an ensemble format, helping to develop a sense of focus and curiosity.

Social, emotional and mental health
The natural sound of the bamboo soothes and calms whilst the movable keys encourage children to explore and learn for themselves. Share parts helps develop a bond with each other.

Communication and interaction
Designed for collective play, the Bambajam helps create a sense of achievement, joy and satisfaction from creating music with each other. Children build confidence in musical conversations with each other whilst active listening helps develop children's awareness of their own importance within the group.

Cognition and learning

Inclusive, inquisitive and expressive play helps children explore music in a 'game-focused' way. Each feature is designed to encourage learning reflective of the children's age and ability.
