“March” Into Summer with Woodstock Chimes® Musical Instruments
Shokan, N.Y. — Woodstock Chimes®, a worldwide leader in the manufacture of premium musical gifts, is proud to offer its retailers the Woodstock Music Collection®, an assortment of nearly 100 musical instruments for children of all ages that are both exciting and easy to play. The Music Collection offers retailers an opportunity to provide customers with fun, interactive products that help sustain an element of music education for young students throughout the summer vacation months. Instruments found in the Music Collection are not only perfect for solo playing, but provide an opportunity for children group play, which assists in the development of ensemble skills, and bestows hours of endless entertainment.
“For many children, summer vacation means a mental break from book reports, reading assignments and homework,” says Woodstock Chimes CEO Garry Kvistad. “However, summer vacation is the perfect occasion for children to dedicate time and energies to understanding and learning a musical instrument. This opportunity not only provides musical education development, but it also brings a unique element of fun and excitement to children’s lives. With music and art programs frequently being removed from school curriculums due to budget cuts, this form of independent education is becoming more important than ever.”
The Music Collection features special instruments, such as the Woodstock Gripper Shakers˙ and Egg Shakers˙, which are made for newborns. Preschool age children are likely to enjoy items such as the Oppenheim Award and Parent’s Choice Top 25 Toy Award Winning, Chimalong®, which was first introduced in 1986 and remains one of the company’s bestselling products.
For students 6-years and older, the company offers a line of guitars, including its awarding winning Woodstock Kid’s Guitar˙ and the Woodstock Folk Guitar˙.
For the drummer at heart, the company offers a selection of Remo Kids Drums, which includes bongos, a floor tom drum, konga drum and more.
