.The drumming workshop will provide an opportunity to identify the advantages of playing this instrument for brain development and well-being.
We will explore the instrument and ways to engage children in rhythmic patterns through the spoken word. We will also look at ways to use all parts of the drum and introduce simple rhythmic patterns which the students can take and make their own.
Bring your own Djembe drum or hire for $10 (please let us know if you would like to hire a drum).
It is recommended that you bring your own earplugs (it may get a little noisy)
