Our workshops are all about…..
Having lots of Fun
Enhancing community spirit
Encouraging family Intergenerational participation – young and old
Experiencing and learning something new
Opportunities for hands-on participation of a cultural activity, within a group you may have never even met before
Hand drums and percussion are one of the most accessible instruments for recreational music making at festivals and Summer Camps. You don’t need to be an expert or a musician to get involved in and experience the joy of making music together.
How our Workshops will enhance your Festival or Summercamp
People with little or no musical background can participate in group percussion activities. A strong sense of group identity is fostered and a feeling of belonging is created because participants are actively making music together . Remember nobody ever wants to watch a drum circle ! So even the most reluctant member will be engaged.
Drumcircles are Fun for all the family. Children, parents and grandparents share the joy and excitement of making music together.
Drumming will boost your energy. People will leave the workshop happy ,open and upbeat, ready to participate and enjoy whatever else is planned or on offer that day.
Drumcircles are confidence building. Utilising achievable rhythms on the day, guided by our skilfull facilitators, a child, teen or adult will walk away feeling empowered and with an enhanced sense of creativity
Drumming is so much fun and a chance to relax.
Drumming creates a memorable experience that will definitely have people talking about and promoting your event enthusiastically by word of mouth
With our workshops, we are fully mobile and can provide up to 40 drums on the day with a variety of shakers bells, and African xylophones. Participants learn how to create their own rhythm, sing songs and chants, Within five minutes we have people playing the drum, grooving, dancing and clapping to an energetic beat. We can also tutor workshop participants to take part in a basic performance or parade to showcase their skills as part of your festival lineup.
We cater to your requirements and needs on the day and can arrange a timetable to suit.
