Drumming for Wellbeing: Part 2

Ever wanted to drum? In these workshops we'll explore the benefits of drumming for wellbeing - and learn how to create simple rhythms to play at home. You don't even need a drum to take part - just find something from around the house that you can tap, rattle, and make a noise with!

Week 2: Getting creative - learn how to make up your own rhythms to fit any song, so that you can play at home whenever you like!

Happy drumming!

Our first Drumming for Wellbeing workshop will be held on 10th June 2020 at 5pm. You are encouraged, but not required, to attend both.

Preparation required:

• Bring your own drum or rhythm instrument - or find or make one! Pots, pans, sweetie tubs - anything that you can make a rhythmic noise with.
• For drumsticks, you can use something like chopsticks, wooden sticks, or even a pencil.

Recommended for:

The workshop is best suited to adults, or families participating together.
