Our African drumming courses are designed to introduce young people to the music of a different culture. The sessions teach participants a little bit of history of the Djembe and how the drums are made, information about the countries themselves and how to play the basic hits and rhythms. The courses are hands-on with all participants having the opportunity to play the drums, both as part of the group and in a solo capacity. Pupils will learn how to hold the Djembe correctly to play it, as well as the three main hits, bass, tone and slap.
