Different Drum In Education
"Rhythm is in all of us. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from, all you need is the right inspiration to find it." (Remo D. Belli)
Different Drum is a different, accessible and hands-on ‘event’ that gives a chance for children from Early Years onwards to have a musical (and rhythmic) experience and share the wonder of playing percussive music together and is based around a group-drumming workshop commonly called a Drum Circle.
Different Drum could be:
- A PSHE lesson e.g. Team work / Self Confidence
- A School Assembly or RE lesson e.g. Drums and Faith, Origins of Drumming
- A Drum and Rhythm based Circle Time
- Drum and Rhythm Workshop session(s)
- A Themed day e.g. Multi-cultural Day, Music Day
- A Gifted and Talented initiative
- An After School Club e.g. a series of six 45-minute sessions for a maximum of Fifteen Key Stage 2 Children (Ten Key Stage 1).
- An Outdoor lesson e.g. Rhythms in nature, seasons etc.
A variety of hand drums and percussion instruments from around the world will be provided. Each day or event can be individually designed to suit your school’s needs and requirements.
I could also provide opportunities for staff including:
- Workshops e.g. Team Building
- Training to enhance knowledge and understanding of Rhythm
Cost is flexible and open to negotiation e.g.£25 for After School Club, £80 for Half Day – but happy to discuss!
