"Whenever people gather to play the drum, the world is a better place" Babatunde Olatunji
A core group of students gather each week on a Wednesday during lunchtime to share in the power and unity that is found in making music together. The Senior Drum Circle are learning rhythms from South America and north west Africa! They have risen to the challenge of mastering these difficult rhythms on Djembe, Dun duns, and cowbells and garner great satisfaction in the achievement of them. Some of the Creative Arts staff team even participate in the rehearsals, which is great for our students to see. Alison Hobbins and Simone Rapisarda are regular attendees and also have a great time! The students enjoy their involvement in the circle and often declare that they wished to have more time in the session.
We welcome any students who would like to join to meet in M5 during Wednesday lunchtimes.
