Kaboom Percussion


Kaboom Percussion was founded by Catherine Betts and Joshua Webster in 2014 and since then they have taken the world by storm with their own unique, original and enormously successful repertoire. ​

Their popular education programs have been extremely well received and they have run their highly sought-after School Shows and Workshops for more than 200,000 students across Australia and New Zealand. This huge demand has made Kaboom a full-time job for Cat and Josh. ​

Kaboom now has three permanent school show teams based in Perth, Melbourne, and Brisbane, allowing them to reach even more students. ​ At its core, Kaboom are passionate about harnessing the fun side of music, showing the world that music can be played with even the simplest of objects. Sparked by their popular version of the Cup Song, this approach has seen the growth of their YouTube channel to more than 300,000 subscribers, with their popular videos being viewed more than 100 million times. ​

They are active in a number of different areas including: performances, recordings, touring, composition, commissions, workshops, school residencies, education programs, self-publishing, radio and TV appearances, and on YouTube.

Day 3: Wednesday

Time Title
Session 4: 14.00 Music Without Barriers: Found Percussion for Everyone
Join Kaboom Percussion founders Cat and Josh as we take you through our strategies for engaging students and developing musical skills through the use of found percussion.

We love showing students that music is for everyone, and we firmly believe that one of the best ways to do this is by making music with simple household items. Found percussion promotes inclusivity by removing barriers for individuals of all ages, abilities, and socio-economic backgrounds.

In this hands-on workshop, we will share some of our favourite tried-and-tested activities which explore rhythm, coordination, teamwork, and the joy of performance. Come have some fun making music together with exercises you’ll be able to use in your classroom immediately!
