Our second workshop…
Our second workshop featured cymbals and body percussion. We learned the ‘We Will Rock You’ beat and made our very own drumsticks!

Our first session went off with a bang!
We made explorations into the world of rhythm, making small hand drums out of old coffee tins and playing on a variety of drums including a snare, tom toms, shaman drum and a thunder drum!
