Drum Crazy, a professional percussion duo, led workshops at Longleaze Primary School, Wootton Bassett, last week.

The school's Music Week also featured performances by peripatetic music teachers on violin, guitar, woodwind, brass and keyboard.

Pupils enjoyed creating their own innovative instruments from odds and ends which were surprisingly effective.

They used the home-made instruments at a concert in which both pupils and teachers took part.

Class 1 gave a marvellous rendition of the story We're Going On A Bear Hunt and Class 2 created music to accompany a Thai lullaby poem, HUSH, with insect and animal sounds.

The teachers sang From A Distance and jungle animals were featured in Class 3's song while Class 4 performed a version of a Japanese festival with colourful instruments and banners.

Music specialist Karen Milne and headteacher Ann Glenton played a recorder duet and Class 5 sang Frre Jacques as a round in English and in French.

Class 6 chose a Jungle Book theme with startlingly realistic sound effects and teachers Norma Bates, alto saxophone, and Mrs Milne, piano, played the Pink Panther.

Classes 7 and 8 gave a musical accompaniment to the story, Grace's Journey about a girl in The Gambia.

The concert ended on an African note with Class 9's performance of a song sung in a Gambian language and the percussionists' vividly coloured instruments were decorated with flowers.
