Drumming & Singing Workshops  

Scott & Susan run a variety of exciting & empowering drumming, singing & musical workshops
based on African drumming and self-expression using drums, percussion, voice & movement.
  Half-day workshops focus exclusively on the teaching of traditional West African drumming
(African djembes are provided if you need one)
whilst each full-day musical workshop centres on a different theme
and incorporates a variety of tools & techniques in a relaxed & energising environment.

Drumming is an empowering, emotive anduplifting experience which reconnects us with the earth upon which we walk and can help us to transcend inhibitions through true self-expression.  The power of drum and voice can raise our energy levels and inspire us to move more rhythmically through our everyday lives, reminding us of the pulsing of all life.  We ALL have rhythm, we ALL have a pulse and we ALL have a unique voice; these workshops will help you to re-discover this.   Drumming and singing is a positive experience which reminds us of the importance of experiencing each moment of our lives to the full.

These experiential workshops aim to bring individuals together to celebrate life and its many rhythms and to rediscover and strengthen personal connections with the land.  Using drums, rattles and voice, these workshops encourage you to find and express your own unique sense of rhythm and enable you to experience something of the inspirational and 'healing' qualities of sound, whether soothing or invigorating!   You do not need any previous experience of either drumming or singing to be able to participate fully in the friendly, enjoyable and positive tribal atmosphere that these inspirational, accessible and energising musical workshops create, for drumming is most definitely not  a competitive sport...

So come join the circle of drums!

A special & inspirational drumming & singing workshop in an incredible location!

Drumming is an ancient, universal and powerful form of expression which calls us to celebrate
the inspirational magic of life itself by invoking the rhythms of the earth and of our hearts.
Resonating deep within us all, drumming enables us to overcome inhibition, feel the freedom of true self-expression and experience the power of being truly in the moment.
 Using drums, rattles and our voices we will together raise positive energy through group drumming and singing, discovering the healing, transformational and inspirational power of the drum whilst learning to play
vibrant, traditional rhythms on the amazing African djembe, also known as both
‘the dancing drum’ and ‘the healing drum’.
Discover the inspirational qualities of sound and its ability to reconnect us to earth & spirit,
finding your own unique sense of rhythm as we celebrate the pulsing of all life
by drumming from the heart and singing from the soul.
