Peripole is proud to announce the rejuvenation of a Peripole exclusive project created in 1960 entitled “SOUND: Activity Guides for the Music and Science Programs” involving the teaching of sound in the elementary and junior high science curriculum through its application to music.  This original program was created with the help of special consultants Dr. Charles T. Horn and Mack Perry to provide students the opportunity to investigate the nature and characteristics of sound.

We know that music helps us in many ways, from motivating us to get up and do our best, to comforting us in challenging times. Listening to recorded music by the artists and bands we love can help us feel empowered, give us courage, insights, and feelings of support. Making our own music can help us be creative, build connections, and help us understand ourselves and others.

Given our current global state and unknown future for the music classroom, the need for personal instrument kits is more vital than ever.  In an effort to keep our children musically engaged, Peripole has created Personal Music Kits designed specifically to cover an array of tones as well as movement in one convenient and budget-friendly package!

Peripole is proud to introduce our newest innovation in ukuleles – the Peripole ® Classic™ Ukulele family by Enya, available exclusively from Peripole. 

Today we want to remember a special day in our history. Today is Juneteeth, the day that slavery was finally abolished in the United States of America.

Keeping kids musically engaged during quarantine (or anytime!)

Welcome and thank you for joining us in our first blog post in a series for Keeping kids musically engaged during quarantine (or anytime!).  Keeping our children engaged in music while being away from school and friends can be a difficult task.  This blog series will give parents and children easy and fun music activity ideas to try at home, using easy to find household items. 

Because it is so important to have some guidance in these trying times we wanted to get the word out and share with all of you the NAFME instrument cleaning guide as well as the NAFME Covid-19 teacher resource page.

Do your kiddos need a easy way to make music during distance learning? While there are many great instruments we can recommend, we wanted to give a little shout out to the melodion! A instrument of many names, you may have heard it as a melodica, pianica or a keyboard harmonica as well. But whatever name it goes by, the instrument is the same: a wind instrument with a keyboard!

Due to the current world wide situation with the COVID-19 pandemic we have reduced our office hours to 8:30AM to 12:30PM PST (11:30AM to 3:30PM EST) Monday-Friday.

We are doing everything we can to reduce the spread of COVID-19, while maintaining our commitments to music education. Read our full statement here for more information.
