		The tuned percussion consisted of a vibraphone, a marimba and glockenspiels - each were taught by describing qualities of sound and hands-on experience for a lucky few.
		A particular highlight was a duo performance on the bongos and cow bells, the children and adults alike were transfixed throughout at the complex sounds produced and the ease at which they were apparently played.
		Kevin Hathway and his 'Prince Consort Percussion Ensemble' has proved to be a valuable and integral part of the children of Farnham’s musical education and the Farnham Festival committee are proud to have provided this experience.
