Community Music

Drums for Schools instruments and sets for community music-making — groups, homes, hospitals, clubs and more.

Check out our sets and instruments below — you'll find a solution for every setting and budget, whether in the home or at large in the community.

Group music-making develops participants' social and emotional skills and playing regularly in a group fosters listening, empathy and team-working, and it boosts mental health and general wellbeing.

Any enthusiastic player will be able to lead their group in fun and fulfilling group music-making sessions, reaching performance level in just 8 to 10 sessions.

  • The styles and instruments are easy to learn, inclusive and fun
  • The instruments are natural and tactile, making them particularly effective in SEN settings
  • The teaching support is designed for non-specialists and includes "how to" videos, warm-ups, cultural background and lesson plans
  • The approach has been tried and tested in support groups, homes, hospitals and other community settings all over the world
And everyone benefits, whatever their age or ability: it's a health tonic and stress reliever, and especially valuable in these difficult times.
