Drumming for Children

The biggest art is to turn into a game everything that children are supposed to do or learn.

 

Lots of fun for children as we combine playfulness and

technique, rhythm practice and reading charts. Rhythm

explorations between creative chaos and disciplined order! 

 

We focus on the three elements "groove, creativity and

technique". Suitable for children between 8 and 12 years.

 

We go back to the roots and begin with African drumming

and then progress to Cuban instruments. The children get

to know the different worlds of drumming and rhythms. In

the African part, we play on djembés, the traditional bass

drums (doundoum, sangbang and kengeni) and small

percussion instruments such as shakers, caxixi, wood

sticks and bells. In the Cuban part, we have fun with the

traditional Salsa instruments such as congas, timbales,

bongos, guiros, maracas, shakers, bells and claves.

 

Many enthusiastic drummers secretly wish they had already started to play the drums as children. You often find that top drummers started very young. Children learn more quickly and in a more relaxed context. Moreover, their muscles and sinews gain strength and flexibility that are the basis for brilliant virtuosity in the future – even opening the door to the possibility of a professional career.

 

We arrange private lessons as well as lessons for groups at alternative times - give us a call or e-mail us to discuss the options.  For more details about prices and teaching arrangements, see 'prices' in the navigation.
