Instrument-Making
Workshops
for Primary Schools and Special Needs
Schools
Years 5 and 6
Pupils from one class make an 11 note diatonic Batonka or
a Marimba over 3 days. Using a separate
classroom the workshop leader
works with a group of 3 pupils on a rotational basis throughout the day.
This is a real opportunity for pupils to develop DT skills as well as
the understanding of science and music.
The school benefits from the addition of a new instrument
that will be in tune with the school’s existing music
resources.
“ It was a great experience for the classes that made the instruments and both are still in use three years on.” Mr Webb, Belmont Junior, London N22
Price £500 for 3 days (incl. materials) for a class.
Years 1 to 4
Younger pupils can make a Metallophone, a Marimba or a set of Mini–Batonkas. As with years 5 - 6 the
workshop leader works with
groups of three or four pupils at a time in a separate classroom for the
day.
The school benefits from having a new classroom instruments.
Price per day £200 (incl. materials) for a class
We recommend that a teacher or other adult be present in both these workshops.
