Our particular focus for Early Years is on the Pentatonic or ‘Dragon’  tuning standard that means no ‘wrong’ notes. It is in line with DfES Recommendations for KS1 & KS2.

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!

Our Pentatonic Focus

Our Pentatonic Focus

  • Pentatonic or 'Dragon' scales are 5-note octaves particularly suitable for Early Years introduction to music & creative play.
  • Playing within this framework reinforces musical intervals, key for this age group, that are easy to pitch accurately and work in canon.
  • Bingbangbong makes 4 octaves of C Major Dragon Scales as standard.
  • The span is 2 octaves either side of Middle C and includes the natural range of a child’s singing voice.
  • Chimes have a clear sound and a good sustain. Larger chimes provide an opportunity to feel and see the tube vibrating.

Our Chimes

  • All Items are individually hand tuned in a temperature-regulated environment.
  • Any combination of Dragon instruments will be harmonic – No wrong notes.
  • Our colour scheme and client primer resources promote pentatonic games and activities using the equipment
  • We supply an anti-tamper fixing kit; a special tool is required for fitting & removal.
  • We build our instruments for permanent outdoor installation using selected materials and processing.  Our Instruments have an indefinite lifespan.
  • We only make musical instruments and sensory items, we are specialists not playground manufacturers.
