DJEMBE WORKSHOP INFORMATION SNIPPETS

African Drumming workshops are aimed at learning and using all different cultures of African traditional music to create different rhythms and beats through drumming and song.

• Traditional African music creates an atmosphere of warmth, a closeness and a completely different relationship between people.

• African drumming is fun, energising and inspirational to people of different ages, backgrounds and abilities.

• Playing the djembe drums improves co-ordination and motor skills.  It also requires concentration and focus to learn the different drum beats.

• African drumming encourages creativity and self expression.  Drumming workshops help to reassure people of their abilities and talents and promotes self-confidence and a feeling of well-being and relaxation.

• Drumming together and creating music as a group encourages bonding within the group and makes people much more appreciative of each other. It creates a feeling of belonging and togetherness within the group.

• The workshops also provide an appreciation of cultural diversity both locally and globally.
