My Project

Hand percussion instruments like these hand drums are one way that students can both create and perform and experience pitch through various sizes of instruments. Hand drums are an instrument that all students can have success with regardless of physical limitations.

Students can move with them, too.

Using a variety of repertoire, students in all grades Kindergarten through adult can make music on the drums. Examples include "Big and Small" from Hand Drums on the Move. They are beneficial for musical response games and performing with speech and rhythmic notation.
