What Schools Say

Trusted by thousands...

"The addition of the Gamelan in year 5 has now broadened the children’s musical awareness of how music works and is experienced in and through ‘non-western’ cultures and especially through the more aural traditions that exist within these musical genres."

— Mary Edwards, King Edward’s Junior School

Description

The ‘Owl Sound’ is a simple two tone hoot-sounding whistle that can sound just like an owl, or a cuckoo.

It is very easy to play and has a painted owl on the whistle itself which makes it more engaging to younger children.

These Wind Chime can help with all aspects of EY development, including:

Sensory and/or physical needs

- Great for breath control, diaphragm exercise
- Gentle ear stimulation
- Soft tones help to relax and calm

Social, emotional and mental health
- Imagine being 'owls' and 'cuckoos' sitting in a tree, chatting; encourages softer, gentle and considered playing and listening.
- Perhaps an old steam train flashes past and disturbs all the life in the hedgerow; in comes ceng ceng turtle to illustrate the disturbance. Then all returns to the previous calm chatting.
- Music and sound-play is as much about soft and gentle as it is about pounding and beating.

Communication and interaction
Everyone plays their part in the 'Sound-scape' outlined in the previous column. Initiating, listening, responding.
