  • This resource helps teachers who already have our large classroom size AUSTRALIAN PERCUSSSION coloured charts (8) for the 5 basic untuned percussion instruments - triangles, drums, castanets, cymbals and tambourines.  Many schools have these in their library but have lost the accompanying music or only have it on old fashioned cassettes..  We can help
  • AND this resource also helps those without the large classroom charts as we include for each song an A4 size reproduction of the chart showing the 5 colours for the 5 instruments. These reproduce quite well on a normal colour printer and can be given to individual pupils for them to follow a particular instrument  e.g blue for triangles.
  • 8 popular Australian songs e.g. Botany Bay, Click go the Shears.  See below full list
  • Music is played by a Bush Band.

 In the FREE  tab we offer a sample of the audio. You can either listen online or download a copy. 

 Also in the FREE tab is the complete Teacher's Handbook with lyrics, historical background and recorder scores. Useful for forward planning.
