Description
This West African Drumming - Primary - 30 Player Pro Wide Top Class Budget Buddies pack is the perfect super low cost solution for larger classes of KS1 and KS2 pupils.
The Pack includes 10 top quality Pro Wide Top Djembe drums and 20 percussion instruments, to give you a wide range of authentic West African Drumming sounds and to make it easy to split the group into ‘Buddy Pairs’, each with one big and one smaller instrument. There are three sizes of Djembe, all with appropriately sized playing heads, and the three sizes will enable your group to differentiate the low, medium and high parts of many West African Drumming pieces. The Pro Wide Top djembes are lighter and more compact than traditional djembes and have been specially designed for use in the classroom; the drum heads are extra wide and strong, the shells are smooth inside and out and the rubber edging protects both the drums and the floor surface.
Special storage/carry bags are also available and will help to prolong the instruments' lives as well as making it safe and easy to move them around for outside events.
Also included are two acclaimed teaching guides by world music expert Andy Gleadhill; ‘West African Drumming Book 1’ and ‘Percussion Buddies’. The West African Drumming book will take the group from basics through to their first performance in just 10 lessons and contains a good repertoire for a year or more of playing. The Percussion Buddies book will show you how to develop percussion accompaniments for almost any piece, whether drumming, choral, ukulele or any other ensemble.
The West African Drumming - Primary - 30 Player Pro Wide Top Class set is an ideal group music making activity for schools from KS1 to KS4. Everyone is able to participate regardless of ability and it is quite often the 'difficult' or 'hard-to-reach' pupils who make the most startling progress. Drumming reaches the children other lessons fail to touch and the transformative power of music can be seen and felt very strongly in West African Drumming classes. There are simple and advanced parts, and although relatively simple in its components, the music can be developed into exciting and rewarding performances.
