My Project

These drums will be used by every student at our school. Kids love to come to music where they are ENCOURAGED to make noise!

These djembes will complete my classroom set for a full drum ensemble.

Students will perform music within a drum circle, while learning technical accuracy, performance and rhythmic techniques and basic music skills. Through the drum circle, students will also gain skills for working in a group - cooperation, listening, evaluating, collaboration - skills necessary for any future activity they choose! Drums will build confidence for all students.
