Workshop is a banging success!

Young people from Newham, Waltham Forest and Hackney had the opportunity to take part in a unique musical workshop in celebration of Black History Month in November.

Students at secondary schools throughout the three boroughs took part in the African Drumming workshop, which focused on the history of African drumming, and how it provides the roots to some modern music.

The young participants also had the opportunity to try Call and Respond – a method of communicating using drumming.

“The participants at the Drumming Workshop really had fun, while understanding African Drumming as an art of communication and developing their personal skills in drumming,” commented Pam Harris, Head of Citizenship at Frederick Bremer School in Waltham Forest.

The pictures show students from Frederick Bremer School in Waltham Forest practising Call and Respond techniques.
