Family Drum Fun Workshops

This workshops are for families where kids, parents and/or grandparents will learn how to play various percussion instruments and world rhythms so that they can play together as a drumming band, as well as engage in fun drumming games, develop their creativity, and composed their own rhythms. Finally, students will have an opportunity to perform and showcase what they have learn and composed during the drumming program by organising a public event for parents, friends and families.

Community Drumming was founded to spread the benefits of group drumming, such as improved physical, mental and social wellbeing. It has also been shown to benefits child development. Through rhythmic drumming activities, children will benefit in the following key areas:

Physical Development: Drumming promotes motor skills and coordination as children actively engage with rhythm and movement. It provides a fun and energetic way for them to develop their gross and fine motor skills.

Social Development: Group drumming fosters a sense of unity and teamwork. Children will have the opportunity to collaborate, share, and communicate effectively as they create music together. This cooperative experience strengthens social bonds and enhances interpersonal skills.

Mental Development: The rhythmic patterns involved in drumming stimulate cognitive development, enhancing memory, concentration, and problem-solving skills. The creative expression through drumming also nurtures imagination and emotional intelligence.

Workshops will take place every Wednesday 1:30-2:30 at the Searchlight Community Centre in New Malden (KT3 3RX).
