African Drumming

$0.00

The drum, the first instrument in the world, has played an important role in the lives of people for centuries. From the beginning, it echoes the beat of your mother's heart. It gives people a sense of strength and solidarity, social and spiritual harmony, and is a powerful tool for healing and expression. In the words of poet, William Congreve, “Music soothes the savage breast.” Students will use hand-eye coordination and work as an individual and in harmony with the group as they explore West African culture and polyrhythmic percussion patterns.
