Dancing Drum School Drum Day

Dancing Drum’s School Drum Day program gives students at a school the opportunity to play 6 different types of drums and percussion instruments! Students take part in 6 drumming workshop scheduled throughout the school day and experience the thrill of making music together with their classmates as they move through the different instrument sections. Each drumming workshop features exciting rhythms, vocal chants, musical games and teamwork activities designed to keep students engaged, learning, and having a blast! This is a high-energy, interactive program your school will thoroughly enjoy! Schools can choose a “Drumming Up Character” or “Drumming Up World Music” focus for their School Drum Day program. The “Drumming Up Character” focus enriches your school’s character education initiative through rhythm, song, and dance! This high energy, interactive program engages students through hip drum rhythms, character rap songs, and exciting dance routines about Fairness, Caring, Responsibility and Respect. The “Drumming Up World Music” focus takes students on an interactive musical journey to learn about rhythms from Africa, the Caribbean, South America and the United States! Listen to the sounds of African drums, steel pan, bells, shakers and blocks as we showcase these fascinating musical traditions of the world.
