| Tuned Percussion in the Music Classroom – a Teachers Guide
Tuned Percussion is great fun – most of the Time! However, it can be a source of headaches (literally!) for music teachers if its not implemented in a careful way.
This article is to give you some hints and tricks on how to maintain and look after the instruments, plus the types of music to play which have the greatest chances of success.
1)Organization is the key
With tuned percussion instruments in a music class you have to be totally organized.
Each instrument needs a shelf where it lives permanently – so that students know where it goes back after it has been used. You’ve got to establish these places early in the routine and have ordering about how the students go about picking them out and playing them.
2) Go All Diatonic or All Chromatic
One of the big problems is that many orff style tuned percussion instruments are sold in two bits – the main “diatonic” part of the instrument, plus they offer a “chromatic extension” which is simply the black notes on a separate box resonator.
In my experience these things are far more hassle than they are worth, particularly for elementary school classes. You are much better off with just a diatonic instrument that isn’t in “two bits”
Organizing a class so that everyone has to get the main instrument, and then get the chromatic extension and put it in front is far too difficult for most elementary classes.
In theory of course the elementary class can use just the diatonic bit, and the more advanced can use the full chromatic.. but it rarely works that way!
The only schools where I’ve seen those chromatic extensions they are generally put away into a cupboard and never used!
Still, if you have more advanced or older students then you should get fully chromatic instruments to start with!
3) Play everything in C Major
One of the big “time wasters” is those substitute F sharp and B flat bars that are included with many of the diatonic instruments. These have to be a complete waste of time for teachers. Often you can spend half the class making sure that all the students have the right notes on their instruments, and then you’ll still hear something funny going on whenever you hear an “F” because one student has an F# on their instrument!
The best tip I have for this is to simply take those substitute bars, put them into a box and lock them away!
The best solution is to simply find music, transpose music or write music that is only in C MAJOR. That way you won’t be messing around chaning notes, and you can get on with making music!
4) Go for Wood – Not Metal – and get them all at once!
I’ve seen more broken “Metallophones” at schools than any other instrument. For some reason they always seem to have gotten lost bars and damaged rubber strips under the bars which result in a loud “clunk” whenever you try to play them!
Glockenspiels are very challenging for young children – the bars are really small… and piercing on the ears as well.
My advice… go for WOOD every time. diatonic xylophones, with a box resonator.
You should really take ALL your budget in one year and dedicate it to this – don’t buy one or two at once.. That will not suffice for a whole class. Get a class set of ten to twenty xylophones that are all identical and they will last for years.
Get one or two at a time and you’ll find that they get mixed up and no-one knows what bars and bits go with what instrument!
5) Mallets all identical – all in one place
One simple thing you can do is get a full set of mallets, and make them all identical!
If you get a box or a large jar and dedicate it to this purpose then students will know that they have to get and return the mallets to this location and they’ll get used to this procedure.
If you only have wooden xylophones then you won’t have to worry about different mallets for the glockenspiels and metallophones.
Of course I’m talking about an ideal situation – and I know that its not common that you get the budget to go out and get a full class set of new tuned percussion instruments for an elementary school.
Hopefully whatever instruments you have you’ll be able to use some ideas from this article to make tuned percussion more enjoyable in your classroom Kevin Tuck is a percussionist and teacher who runs multiple websites with his company, the Fun Music Company.

 Since its release on LP in the mid-1950s, Fritz Reiner’s rendition of the Concerto for Orchestra has stood as the standard against which all other recordings of the work are measured. Even after all these years, the recording remains just as convincing and authoritative. Reiner’s superb control of his orchestra and of Bartók’s rhythms and textures is still unsurpassed, even by dozens of subsequent conductors in the digital age. Likewise, the Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta shows just what an incredible ensemble the Chicago Symphony was under Reiner’s direction. This umpteenth reissue, in RCA’s Living Stereo series, promises to be the one to have, its sonics noticeably improved over the earlier CD release in 1989. –David Vernier

| How to Make Percussion in the Beginner Band More Fun!
Dealing with the percussion section can be the biggest challenge for a band director, particularly in the elementary band situation. It can be very tough to get them all engaged and enjoying the rehearsals, particulary if the director themselves is not a percussion specialist.
Don’t let them be “drummers” only – be “percussionists” instead
This is the most important thing to realize – that band students are often attracted to percussion so that they can play the drum set. The drum set (or drum kit) is often used in the school band, and often is very important, so students feel that if they are not playing it they have to sit there and wait.
The band director has to find a way around this situation – if you only have one drummer, then great! They can play the drum kit and away you go.
The issue can happen when you have multiple drummers in the band, sometimes two, four, eight or ten! One way that works very effectively and has been used for many years is to have one player playing snare drum, one playing bass drum, and one cymbal player, even if you have a “drum kit” part written out. If you have this type of band I recommend having this setup at all times, and making the students stand up to play the snare drum. You then have the cymbals and concert bass drum, and its designed to be played by three players all the time.
Have an Auxilliary Percussion Table – and make them stand up to play at all times
There is nothing worse than vaguely hearing a shaker or tambourine in a school band, and struggling to see the person sitting on a chair behind the drummer!
When playing tambourine, triangle or shaker – these instruments are often more critical to the sound of the band than the snare drum or drum set, so therefore they must be taken really seriously.. by the band director as well as by the players.
So always have a “traps” table with everything in easy reach. Its not expensive to set one up or buy one of the available professional models.
The players must always stand up to play, and have their music stand set up so that they can look immediately over it at the band conductor.
Warming up – please don’t ignore us!
I’ve been a percussionist in a school band… there is nothing more frustrating that spending your time sitting in the school band room while you wait for the wind players to tune up and warm up. Often the band director will spend up to half an hour warming the players up – and expect the percussionists to remain quiet during that time.
How to deal with it?
- If youre going to warm up for half an hour…. Tell the percussion section to arrive later than the rest! – it makes no difference to you and its better than them being a distraction!
- Why not send them into a different room for their own section rehearsal during this time? Get a specialist teacher or assistant to work with them on their parts
- Use predefined warm-up routines that go along with what you are doing with the wind players. (doesn’t always work, but can do depending on the materials you have)
Be prepared to supplement the band book
When I helped out with beginner bands I found it necessary to supplement the band books that the students were using with additional materials – often the materials are not interesting or they don’t have enough variety to keep the students engaged in the materials.
They’ll need lots of work on basic rudiments and rolls – often the band books don’t address those things early enough. So therefore you may be able to supplement it with other material which is available online and in books.
Everyone playing mallets?
I’m going to leave this up to you – it depends on the different personalities in each of the bands you have. One popular series of band books the “standard of excellence” has snare drum/bass drum on the left hand pages of the book, and mallet percussion on the right. Another type the “essential elements” has one snare drum and one mallet percussion book.
I think that percussionists should rotate and do as much as possible, and if that means that they each need two books, whereas every other member of the band needs only one.. then that’s the way it should be!
There are no quick fixes to make percussion better in the beginner band, but hopefully this article can give you one or two ideas that will help! Kevin Tuck has worked as a private music teacher (a percussion specialist) and as a classroom music teacher. Kevin has run his own very successful music school, and now runs The Fun Music Company, an internet publishing company helping music teachers and authors publish music and educational materials on the internet.

 The original LP Chick-Ita Twin Shaker has always been a favorite. Diminutive in size but not tone, the Chick-Ita Twin Shaker puts a distinct shaker tone within the grasp of any percussionist. LP announces the next step, the LP Chick-Ita Twin Shaker. Placed in the hand of any novice or pro, the Chick-Ita Twin Shaker will double the tone and volume of the traditional Chick-ita. The LP Chick-Ita Twin Shaker does everything with a flourish thanks to a well-designed comfortable grip that provides ease of playing on stage or in the studio. A new grip and chamber provide enhanced projection and volume without any significant adaptation in hand technique. With a wave of a hand the percussionist will reap double rewards from the new, ergonomic and sonorous LP Chick-Ita Twin Shaker. It’s player friendly, stage friendly, and studio friendly, the sound of one hand shaking.

- Multiple percussion timbres with easy grip, one-handed handle
Product Description
The new LP Percusso meets today’s demand that the percussionist handle multiple sonic duties. A single player must negotiate a gamut of sounds. With this in mind, LP has designed the ingenious Percusso, which enables the percussionist to deliver two discrete tones from a single instrument. By grasping the comfortable LP Percusso grip, the player choose between shaking the lightweight frame for a jingling tambourine tone or depressing the direct-touch lever for an authentic wood block sound. Either way, the player can easily toggle between tones suitable for many musical genres. A further advantage of the LP Percusso is that block and jingle effects may be played simultaneously in perfect sync. After a moment’s study, manipulating the LP Percusso becomes second nature and the player pulls off wood block/tambourine combinations with split-second precision. Multiple percussion timbres are a reality with the easy grip, one-handed innovation, the LP Percusso.
