Drumfun
Music for Children
We had packed out sessions for this fun packed workshop with Steve from Drumfun. Steve has been banging his drum in schools and communities throughout Scotland since 2000, and his workshops are well known for being heaps of fun and leaving everyone with that feel good factor.
They played games, sang songs, created rhythms and learned some funky African beats. No previous experience was necessary and all drums were provided. It was a workshop for all ages, and everyone including grandparents got down to some funky grooves!
