These percussion concerts have proved very
popular in the past!

terrific"

"My class thoroughly enjoyed the experience and have
been composing and performing their own percussion pieces for each
other! They are so excited by what they saw and heard. Well
done!"
J. Malonyay and Year 1, Lyneham Primary
School
"We took approximately 160 Year K-2 students to the performance. They
couldn't keep still in their seats and they talked about the show the
whole trip back to school. Gary France's Persussion Ensemble
demonstrated that music can be made from everyday items as well as
introduced us to some of the less well-known percussion
instruments.
Back in the classroom the students enjoyed making
their own instruments from the information sheets Gary
provided.
A thoroughly worthwhile musical
experience."
Val Kendall
Farrer
Primary School
"We really enjoyed all the music very much and we learnt a lot
about what musical insturments could be eg brooms and things"
Katrina Ashton, Year 1
Farrer Primary
School
"We went to an excursion yesterday and we listened to music like
undersea music. They used brooms, sticks and drums. We had lots of fun.
I felt happy."
Serena, Year 2
Farrer Primary
School
