Drum building and drumming workshop

Get the Rhythmania Team into your school to run a drum building workshop with your learners. It is suitable for Grades 5 (11 years) and up. Rhythmania will provide all raw materials and tools; will facilitate the drum building process and drumming once the drums are finished. The learners can either decorate their drums as part of the workshop or at a later stage depending on the availability of time.

3 - 4 hours

Drumming workshop

Rhythmania will happily come and facilitate an interactive drumming workshop at your school. All drums will be provided. This can either be done with individual classes or entire grades (although there is a limit to how many learners can be accommodated). This course is applicable to any grade.

1 hour for an entire grade or

40 minutes per individual class

 Rhythmania has tailored many games using the drums to stimulate and improve concentration levels, listening and auditory skills, group work and gross and fine motor skills. This course works best with individual classes or with groups of 30 or less.

Using brightly coloured melodic plastic tubes,  the Rhythmania Team will facilitate a session of energetic rhythms and games.
