Children will learn to count beats, recognise musical patterns, and understand the value of timing and teamwork. It's also an excellent tool for fostering sharing, turn-taking, and building confidence as each child finds their voice in a musical group. Made from a mix of natural wood and durable materials, these instruments are built to withstand regular classroom use and inspire imaginative, hands-on learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducational Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRhythmic Awareness -\u003c\/strong\u003e Teaches beat keeping, tempo, and musical timing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor Skills Development -\u003c\/strong\u003e Strengthens hand coordination and fine motor control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocial and Emotional Learning -\u003c\/strong\u003e Promotes teamwork, sharing, turn-taking, and group cooperation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCreative Expression -\u003c\/strong\u003e Offers an outlet for individual expression within a structured group setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassroom Ideas:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRhythm Band Activities -\u003c\/strong\u003e Form student ensembles and practise different rhythm patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument Exploration -\u003c\/strong\u003e Rotate instruments and let students describe or compare their sounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSound Sorting -\u003c\/strong\u003e Group instruments by tone or material for sensory-based classification activities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorytime Soundtracks -\u003c\/strong\u003e Add instruments to stories to create engaging, multi-sensory narratives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents Include (34 instruments):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 x Indian Drum (15.5 x 15.5 x 6cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Round Wooden Shaker (3.5 x 3.5 x 6cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Natural Mini Wooden Maracas (10 x 5 x 12cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Claves (2 x 4 x 13cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Natural Castanet (2.5 x 5.5 x 5.5cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Natural Castanet with Handle (3 x 15 x 4.5cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x One Tone Wood Block (3.5 x 3.5 x 16.5cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Two-Tone Wood Block (3.5 x 7.5 x 19.5cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Natural Jingle Stick (4.5 x 17 x 17cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Wooden Sandpaper Blocks (5 x 4 x 20.5cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Cowbell with Handle (5 x 8.5 x 21cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Triangle (11 x 11 x 1cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Mini Cymbals (6.5 x 13 x 3cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Bell Wrist Bells (18cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x 5-Bell Wrist Bells (20cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Thunder Block (8 x 9.5 x 4cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Tambourine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Wooden Guiro Shaker (4.5 x 4.5 x 14cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Instruments:\u003c\/strong\u003e 34 (34 pieces total)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mixed - wood, metal, plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3+ years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal for music education, group play, rhythm exploration, and cultural learning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adult supervision recommended; all items child-safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contents may vary; some items sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePack Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSet of 34 Pieces (34 Instruments)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42238748229745,"sku":"QM610","price":899.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/7633\/6753\/files\/qm610_percussion-set-35-instruments_v1_1.webp?v=1768792137"}],"url":"https:\/\/teaching.co.nz\/collections\/primary-music-instruments.oembed?page=4","provider":"Modern Teaching Aids NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
