This page was produced for a University Assignment. Due to the large file size of audio clips (Ferrier, 2009) the University design site was unable to cater for this site. It will be visible for a short while until marking has been completed
There are not many web sites that cater specifically for children wishing to learn or just commencing their concert band percussion journey.
Misconceptions in the type of instruments found in the percussion family are prevalent in beginning students
This site was produced for educational purposes
A revised site will appear on these pages before the end of 2009
