Workshops

A typical workshop is totally inclusive and interactive. Absolutely no previous musical experience is necessary.

The workshop will also include a brief journey around the world of drums, from Africa to Ireland. Everyone will then receive an instrument and we will learn to play a piece of high-energy Samba music from Brazil. This is an outline structure, but depending on the type of group involved, the workshop will be flexible enough to adapt to the needs of the individual or group.

Most interactive drumming workshops tend to be 1 - 2 hour in duration and cater for up to 30 participants per session. With longer workshops we can touch on rhythms and songs from Africa, Cuba, Brazil and Ireland. Day long Workshops can be particularly good for music students and Transition Year students.

Workshops In Schools

The tutor can facilitate up 4 or 5 workshops daily to give different classes a "go" in a typical school day. If time permits, the different classes can perform for each other, or for the rest of the school, at the end of the day.

6 week course  - We can form a samba band with only 6 weekly visits. The band can then perform a repetoire of various exciting drumming styles at events such as a show, sports event or parade!
