Music Making: African Drumming Workshop

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!

Djembe Drums will be supplied by the tutor. No musical knowledge is required, just the enthusiasm to have a go! Use your hands to tap out different sounds with techniques shown to you by our experienced and enthusiastic tutor. This fun and uplifting class will guide you through some simple beats and rhythms so by the end of the class you will be able to work as a group to create a simple harmony.

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