For educational establishments
Our workshops include team building, co-operate events, teacher training & conferences. Workshops are tailor-made to fit with all age groups from play groups to universities, colleges, high schools and primary schools. The workshops consist of African drumming using the Ngoma, Djembe, Ndandanda and Chigubhu drums, we have a large selection of up to 40 drums with rattles and shakers to accomodate every student within a group. The dance and singing workshops can be done as a separate workshop but we find the link of all three gives a better understanding of the music of Sub-Sub-Saharan African cultures

For companies
If you are looking for something unique for your co-operate events why not try the most traditional way of communicating and developing listening skills through the power of drumming. The African drum offer the ideal tool for team building, offering groups the opportunity to work together and support each other rhythmically which can also be applied in the work place. Using the drum is also a great way to de-stress and allow your work force to work more affectively with immediate and positive changes.
