Record your school CD this Christmas for free
and claim £175 to spend on your choice of drums

Percussion is perfect for teaching KS1 and KS2 music. As playing music is fun for children, it makes teaching rhythm, structure and ensemble skills easy.

We’ve teamed up with the award winning Drums for Schools to help you, by giving you £175 to spend on your choice of instruments or resources, or one of the percussion sets above, for free.

There is no catch, you just need to register your interest over the next week and book a free CD recording for Christmas or for any time up to February 2015.

Our professional recording engineers come to your school with studio recording equipment, and spend a day recording your CD with you, for free. Our Interactive Recording Guide shows the huge educational benefit in the project for the children, and makes planning the project really simple with everything set out for you.

All you need to do is decide what you’d like to include on your CD – a performance or event, instrumental groups, the whole school singing, each class singing their favourite song or even your drumming. The CD is a treasured memento to be proud of, a great showcase for the school’s talents, and the recording is an amazing day for the children. You can even raise funds for your school from the sales of your CD.

To get the free CD recording for your school and your free percussion set or voucher, all you need to do is send me an email to the address below, or give me a call with your school details, when approximately you might like to record your CD, and of course whether you would prefer the 30 player or 14 player percussion set or £175 to spend with Drums for Schools.

To qualify for the free percussion set, you have a week to register your interest to complete your recording before the end of February 2015.
