 We understand that at this time of year, schools are seeking to maximise the final elements from their remaining budget. We are delighted to assist and to make your budget go a little further by offering our End of Spend Sale.

Proforma invoicing

We appreciate that a school will want to process the payment quickly. We can facilitate this through proforma invoicing where an invoiced is issued for immediate payment when the order is made and payment is made before the goods are delivered. This means you are invoiced in the current financial year and the spend comes out of your 09/10 budget. Delivery is within 3-4 weeks

If you proforma payment will not work with your systems the normal price applies and we can issue your invoice on 30 days payment terms.

Bingbangbong goes Transatlantic!

Bingbangbong is delighted to make selected products available for export from the North of Ireland to the USA From August 2009.

Pricing

Our normal prices are based on a standard price plus 15% Value Added Tax VAT which is paid to the Government. In the case of goods exported to the USA we do not charge VAT and therefore you pay the basic price as indicated on the website.

Why only Selected Items?

We are happy to ship any of our items to the US however, the items illustrated have been selected from our range because their size and shape makes them the most economical* to ship to the USA.

Unfortunately, items such as the Batonkas or the one metre diameter Stainless mirror hemispheres, although light in weight, take up a lot of space on the airplane and rather than their actual weight being chargeable, shipping is based on the space they take up, their volumetric weight. This can be many times the actual weight

*Please Note: There may be an import charge payble by customers when the goods reach the USA however this is out of our jurisdiction.

Good News!! - We are delighted to announce that Bingbangbong recently made an instrument donation to the N Ireland Children's Hospice, our adopted charity for 2009. The donation comprised a full starter set with a retail value of over £2000.

Music Therapist of the Children’s Hospice, Evie says

"The new outdoor equipment will add a whole new dimension to musical play. The children will be able to explore new sounds and new activities whilst enjoying the benefits of the outdoor elements - fresh air and sunshine."

EYFS in Daycare and childminding

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) brings together: Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage (2000), the Birth to Three Matters (2002) framework and the National Standards for Under 8s Daycare and Childminding (2003), building a coherent and flexible approach to care and learning. All providers are required to use the EYFS to ensure that whatever setting parents choose, they can be confident that their child will receive a quality experience that supports their development and learning.

Paul Marshall from bingbangbong is a former Early Years Music Specialist. Paul uses this experience and the wide ranging EY delivery and design skills as a fundamental basis of the Early Years provision within bingbangbong.

EYFS outdoor musical instruments

Our EYFS outdoor musical instruments are based largely on the Dragon or Pentatonic scale as recommended by the DFeS. This is a 5-note scale and there are no wrong notes!. This scale is a universal standard in music teaching and in folk musics around the world. Our dragon instruments are ideal for musical exploration and delivering positive experiences of harmony

EYFS Practitioner Resources

But we do not stop there. Every client receives access to our bespoke range of Early Years and KS1 resources, games, activities and resources to assist practitioners in running successful musical sessions. 

Our instruments are age-universal, the sooner you start the better!

Paul Marshall is a former Early Years Educator, he worked in schools and nurseries delivering short & intensive but fun music classes with children aged 2-7.  This experience has been invaluable in the creation of bingbangbong, defining our strong support for pentatonics and in shaping our insistence on a high degree of tuning accuracy. It’s important!
