Vida Winter Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I find myself in the position of needing to teach a 45 minute drum circle workshop for 2nd-6th graders (I'm not a drummer)...and this will happen in about 2 weeks. The workshop would be repeated 12 times. The local high school will loan the drums. The theme may either be Native American or African drumming, or a combination. If anyone has experience with this and has suggestions it would be appreciated! I have been trying to get experienced drummers to teach the workshop but no luck so it may come down to me.

Arcadia Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 My kids have done the session by Music Together as well as a kids taiko workshop at a festival with a local taiko group. I had done a snare drum session during my schooldays with my school's marching band. What kind of drums are being loaned to you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vida Winter Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Thanks for the info. I think we're going to do something else instead of drums (I don't think I can pull it off). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I like DRUM-Discipline, respect, and Unity through Music by Jim Solomon. It includes some really simple build your own ensembles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
