Music Making: African Drumming for All

Alongside the drumming, find out a little about the rich history of the instrument and its place in African culture, as well as its influence on global music. Our tutor is a mine of information and will introduce you to the instrument and its roots. The practice of African drumming is also known to reduce stress and promote wellbeing, so it is a wonderful way to leave behind the stresses of the day!

Drums will be supplied by the tutor. No musical knowledge is required, just the enthusiasm to have a go!

African Drumming courses are available at a local venue should you wish to continue learning to further your skills and knowledge of the instrument.
