What materials is a drum skin made of? How many mallets do you need to play a timpani, and where do the notes come out of a vibraphone? Find out the answers to these and other questions at our percussion workshops, where preschool and primary school children get to know and try out selected percussion instruments of an orchestra. At the end of the workshop, the children use percussion instruments to bring stories to life, such as the story of the Little Mole Who Knew It Was None of His Business, the journey of two raindrops in »Der Wasserkreislauf«, or the fascinating »Rassel-Schepper-Bumm-Maschine«. There’s something here for everyone!

Werner Holzwarth’s »Vom kleinen Maulwurf, der wissen wollte, wer ihm auf den Kopf gemacht hat« (The Little Mole Who Knew It Was None Of His Business) is a children’s classic. In their search for the culprit who did their business on the mole’s head, the children get to know the mole while learning about and trying the percussion instruments of an orchestra.
The book is used with the kind permission of Peter Hammer Verlag GmbH.
Plitsch and Platsch, the two raindrops who fell out of a cloud during a rain shower, embark on an exciting journey from a mountain spring to the sea. Using the orchestra’s percussion instruments, the young participants bring the story to life.
Three inventive friends build a fascinating clattering, chattering machine together with their grandfather. The machine’s sounds, of course, are supplied by the workshop participants themselves on the orchestra’s percussion instruments.
