Samba Drumming Workshop

In our Samba Drumming Workshop, the whole day is based around energetic and traditional rhythms from the Latin American culture.  Our Samba Drumming Workshops are one of the most popular group activities we offer at Primary Workshops for Schools and your children will be delighted when they come together to form a samba band.

Samba drumming is particularly famous in Brazil and is played at many of their famous carnival festivals.  Creating a traditional samba rhythm involves playing several different instruments and your children will get the chance to try their hand at these in order to create this unique sound.

Samba Drumming links well with Cultural Week, International Day and Arts Week or as a Rewards Day.

What Our Clients say

It was amazing! Full participation from the onset. Not really any ways to improve the workshops. Yes, definitely rebooking. We’re booking a ‘Samba’ Drumming Workshop for the week

J. H
(Fox Class)

We have had this workshop 3 times now, delivered by your drummer, he was very patient with them and the workshop was aimed at their level.

Fiona M.
(Class Teacher)

Thank you for organising everything so well, and at such short notice. The workshops provided were excellent and all the children had a fantastic experience.

Mr G. C.
(Deputy Head)

I really enjoyed it yesterday when you came to do African Drumming with our class.  When I walked into the hall I was mind-blown by the drums!.  I had never seen anything like it before.  On the drums, there were so many different patterns which made them unique.  My favourite was the flame.  I also really like the bass because it sounded like a gong.  Then as we learnt the rhythms we got faster and faster and it got more and more fun.

Miss M. M.
(Year 6 Student)

Thank you, we absolutely loved our African Drumming workshop.  The children thoroughly enjoyed it and we were pleased with the fact that all could participate and be active in the drumming.  The instructor was amazing with the children and their enthusiasm showed through the day, exciting the children further.  We would be very interested in booking the workshop for next year too.

Cathy Richmond
(Riverview Junior School)

Thank you so much for the workshop on Tuesday.  The provider was excellent and the girls thoroughly enjoyed the experience.  By the end of the morning both classes gave an impressive performance.  Best wishes.

Just a note to thank you for all your efforts in organising to come and work with our boys.  It was fantastic, the boys loved the event and we would be keen to repeat it sometime in the future.

Helen Carlisle

Please can I send my deepest thanks to you and your team for providing such a wonderful day on Monday!  It was an amazing success and the children were so enthused by the day.  Please can you let everyone who supported the day know what an impact their hard work has had upon our school.

The workshop was great and all the children had a great time. They thoroughly enjoyed the plays they watched and were enthusiastic about making their own puppets.
