Testimonials
Thousands of organizations have come to us wanting our help to bring music and harmony to their parks and playgrounds, schools, nursing homes, hospitals, hospices, museums and family-attractions, and many other different settings.
We strongly believe in extending play beyond the traditional, making play inclusive and the positivity of multi-generational interaction. Music has great power for bringing people together and including musical instruments in a park, playground or trail makes music-making irresistible for people of all cultures, ages, and abilities.

Dave Wetter Co-President-Elect Greater Kingston Kiwanis Club, Washington
All instruments arrived undamaged and in good condition. I have completed the assembly and they will be going in the ground, hopefully, within the next two weeks. I also want to mention that the quality of the workmanship and assembly instructions were excellent. I noticed on each carton that a list of the contents was on the outside with a check box for each item and a place for the employees signature who, evidently, filled the box. This example of quality control was very much appreciated by this engineer.
Case StudyEileen English, Student at Sheboygan North High School, Vollrath Park, Sheboygan, WI
The music garden is so accessible. I see people in wheelchairs, grandparents, the other day I even saw a baby in someone's arms playing the instruments! It's a unique experience to see how intergenerational music really is and how accessible it can become. Music can be fun when people are not pressured to hit the right notes or make the right sound; they're just there to make music with their community.
Case StudyTim Gruber, Volunteer Coordinator, Madison Children's Museum, Madison, WI
Like a playground which children explore, kids are great at exploring the instruments to create different sounds. Aside from the music program that I run, I'll often find kids playing with them on their own, enjoying the tunes that they are creating. Adults often don't feel like they can play them as they think it won't sound nice, but the good thing about these instruments is that they always sound good, no matter how you play them.
Case StudyNatalie Johnson, Girl Scout Gold Award Recipient Fond Du Lac, WI
I could work through the songs in the Music Book with a few of the students as a way to teach them how to work through and play on a xylophone (Cavatina). It's been a joy to see children and adults discover the instruments in the park and play together. This space is helping children begin their musical education which I have been lucky to enjoy and develop growing up in the City.

The children LOVED the instruments! I teared up watching the little ones jumping over and over again on the Stepping Stones. Thank you, thank you, thank you to you and your team at Percussion Play!
Case StudyAlisa Mize, Development Officer The Museum of Music Making, California
“We were really impressed with Percussion Play’s ability to work with us when it came to the look of the instrument in an indoor setting. The team went over and above in terms of customer service – we had a really great customer experience from the very start of our journey to when we received the instrument – we were really impressed by the company.
