Educational Drum Workshops
for Teachers and Youth Workers
All of the following drum workshops can be tailored and delivered
to meet particular customer needs.
Depending on what you're looking for, they can be combined to provide
a unique, fun, learning experience.
Drum workshops can be from 3 hours to a full day to a whole weekend,
or even spread over several weeks of evenings as an adlut learning/evening
class.
Drum workshops can also be tailored to particular age groups, for
example the key stages of the National Curriculum, youth groups, parent and
child groups, etc.
There is substantial evidence of the effectiveness of music in aiding
learning. For young children in particular, music can be extremely valuable
in enhancing personal, social and educational development.
Hands On Drumming for Teachers Workshop
This drum workshop is designed specifically for teaching and support
staff, youth workers and instructors who wish to expand on their music skills
and teaching skills in a classroom or youth group setting.
The system I have devised is a graphically-based hand drumming system
requiring no previous musical knowledge or experience. It is therefore
highly accessible and ideal for primary students and older students/people
with mild learning difficulties. However, I have successfully used this system
in teaching hand drumming to individual students and drumming groups of all
ages and abilities.
My "system" has been tested on individuals and groups of all sizes
and will enable you to teach hand drumming to up to 30 pupils quickly,
consistently and easily.
Course Description
The purpose of the Hands on Drumming For Teachers Workshop is to enable
teachers to confidently and successfully teach basic hand drumming and other
school percussion in a group setting.
Hand drumming includes a range of techniques that, once learned,
can be adapted and applied to many drums or struck/shaken instruments.
The graphical systems employed are designed to be an effective
introduction to conventional musical notation applicable to world and ethnic
percussion. However, previous knowledge is neither required nor
assumed.
The subject matter of this workshop integrates well with many subjects
of the National Curriculum, including music, dance, drama, art, design, cultural
diversity and physical education.
The Hands on Drumming For Teachers Workshop is a carefully structured,
self-contained, one day course, delivered at your school or workplace and
includes full teacher notes, lesson plans, printable cue cards and graphics
- everything you need with the exception of instruments and earplugs!
On completion of this workshop, attendees will recieve a certificate
of attendance.
