My Project

Every student is interested in learning how to play the drums, this is something that truly excites them. Tubanos provide easy playability and diverse sounds to introduce students to rhythm and melody, enhancing musical and cognitive skills. They also offer a cultural learning experience, opening doors to world music traditions.Our primary goal is to foster students' musical understanding and appreciation through hands-on tubano experience.

We aim to develop rhythm skills, promote cultural awareness, and encourage collaborative learning.

The project supports teamwork, listening, and social interaction, all through the joy of music.

Our enthusiastic students thrive on interactive learning. Each child's unique perspective enriches our classroom, making the addition of tubanos a perfect fit for fostering their musical and cultural understanding in a fun, engaging way.
