Drumming Workshops Are Perfect For Primary/Secondary Schools
We provide culturally inspired workshops using African drums called djembe’s and other mixed drums and hand percussion.
Our workshops are designed to lift the profile of music in your school so that everyone can experience the thrill of making music together in a group. Your school will receive a Music Certificate and some of the Children will receive awards.
Suitable for both Primary, High and Special Educational Needs Schools, our Drumming Workshops provide a holistic experience that will enable all of your children to be involved regardless of age or ability.
Drumming has been used for centuries in most cultures and can provide a great opportunity to enhance many of the topics that are covered within the school curriculum.
In the Drumming Workshop children will learn about how the drum was used traditionally and also how it relates to the modern rhythms heard today. Using a variety of different sized instruments they will also create a large ensemble, making it an ideal group activity.
Throughout the sessions children will learn through the use of call and response to understand how the drum works. An African drumming workshop can be incredibly rewarding and inspirational for all involved
- Improves teamwork and communication skills
- Builds confidence
- Increase Cultural awareness and cohesion
- Creates appreciation for diversity
- Therapeutic (Stress buster)
These workshops can be designed to be high energy, ensuring children are engaged throughout the sessions and at the end of the day all participants come together for an amazing performance.
A typical Drumming Workshop consists of up to six sessions throughout the day, which culminate in an engaging ensemble performance at the end allowing children to demonstrate the exciting new skills they have learnt
Drumming In Primary Schools
Our structured children’s workshops are suited to all ages and abilities they promote class cohesion, participation, teamwork and help to develop co-ordination, focus, confidence and musicality. They can be tailored to meet your schools particular needs and curriculum requirements so if you need a one off single class workshop, if the class just need a little fun to help them all get along, or a whole school day for Harmony day or for classes to work towards a performance for a school assembly or music ensemble night we can provide all the instruments and tuition needed.
Drumming In OSHC
Young children love bashing a drum so our workshops are fun, interactive and engaging. We encourage learning through play and movement so that both left/right brain are engaged to help the development of gross/fine motor skills. We introduce the children to the drums and let them touch and feel as much as they like, we encourage them to dance to the beat and enjoy the sessions. We can also provide craft sessions such as making and decorating drums shakers and masks.
