Introduction
Workshops start by getting the children to do a few stretching exercises to relax the muscles of the arms. Then a description of the drums and percussion that will be used is given.
Following on, the children are introduced to hand drumming techniques in a way they can relate to (Stories and games are normally used)
Finally, they get to make up different rhythms under our supervision and guidance. So far, this has been a fun experience for the children and their teachers.
