Children love banging on drums and making lots of noise. We teach them how to play and create music together. Our educational drumming workshops are a fun and dynamic learning experience. After the drum workshop your pupils will be energized, appreciative of each other and very proud of what they have achieved.
School drumming workshops
Drumming has many benefits, it encourages creativity, self expression and rhythmic coordination. It also improves manual and psychomotor skills.
The pupils do not require prior knowledge of drumming or special musical skills. Everyone is given their own instrument and within minutes the class becomes an orchestra.
Making music together and contributing your part, promotes a feeling of community and team spirit.
School Drum Workshops
Our workshops for children are musical journeys. The little ones discover different sounds and learn basic music skills. We can add storytelling, singing and dancing to the workshop.
As they get older we go a step further, such as playing together and listening to each other. We teach them different rhythms and how to keep a steady beat. By doing a Drum circle they can also improvise their own music.
Our workshops are dynamic, rhythm-charged group experiences. While having great fun, the pupils discover the effect an individual has on the larger whole, develop team skills and increase their listening and coordination skills.
Playing and creating music together is a fun way to encourage bonding within the group. It makes them more appreciative of each other.
Workshops for teachers
Our workshops for teachers can be used for team building and as a source of inspiration.
We gladly share our expertise and experience with you.
Our team building workshops
Instruments
In our workshop Drummunication we use authentic instruments from various parts of the world such as djembe, tamborim and other hand drums, bells from Africa and Latin America, shakers, boomwackers, etc.
But to play rhythm you don't necessarily need a real percussion instrument. You can make music with virtually everything.
In our Junk percussion workshop feature everyday objects such as plant pots, plastic barrels, buckets, mortar tubs, PVC-tubes, wheel-rims, baskets balls, pots and pans from the kitchen, etc.
After this workshop your pupils will see the objects around them with different eyes.
Body percussion, singing and dancing
Other elements we can add are Body percussion and African singing and dancing. This can be West-African dancing or South-African gumboot dancing.
The workshop can be concluded with a performance, where the pupils show what they have learned. When they wear our African costumes, this performance will be a real spectacle.
