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.

Karl Orff QuotationPlease do not hesitate to get in contact if we can offer any additional information or advice toward creating your sound play area to bring generations of smiles & achievement to your children and their children's children.

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!
