Our Drumming Workshops for Schools:
Let’s Drum
Through games, activities and performing, our drumming workshops allow primary school students to explore the percussion family, develop their understanding of rhythm and improve their rhythmical ability, whilst performing as part of a drumming ensemble.
These sessions incorporate station learning and ensure that each child gets an opportunity to play four instruments. Each workshop culminates in a live end-of-workshop performance that combines the different rhythms and activities covered during the sessions.

Natural Rhythms
Natural Rhythms is an African drumming workshop that combines rhythm games, voice work and percussion using hand drums and a variety of African percussion instruments. Students are immediately immersed into the world of music-making, where they learn about rhythm and discover their unique voice and beat.
These African drumming workshops aim to enhance each child’s musical and rhythmical ability by playing hand drums, learning simple rhythms and creating their own rhythms in a fun, non-pressurized environment.
Our experienced, professional music tutors place a strong emphasis on team-building and working together as a group. This creates a calm environment where pupils feel comfortable expressing themselves, and can gain confidence in their own creative ability.

Samba Sounds
These dynamic samba workshops explore the magic of the traditional street samba of carnival. With each 45-minute session, students will learn how to play samba’s Afro-Brazilian rhythms.
Both exciting and soothing, these percussion workshops include sections of a wide variety of percussion instruments.
These hands-on, active music workshops are full of fun from start to finish. Our samba workshops are an excellent way of getting every child involved in an energetic and interactive music-making session.

Shay comments:
“One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is teaching music lessons to the kids. It is great to see young students develop their skills and become proficient in playing an instrument. In addition, the children also become more comfortable performing in front of an audience which is very valuable for public speaking later in life. There really is so many benefits to providing music education in schools and I’m glad to be a part of it.”
