African Drumming Book 1 is one of Andy Gleadhill’s growing range of Teacher’s guides for classroom instruments.

Below to the left you can play the audio tracks that accompany Andy Gleadhill’s African Drumming Book 1 and you can also download them in the “Documentation” section further down below – just click on the section name to show the content. The recordings are of professionally produced performances by school children of all the African tunes in the book. We recommend that you listen to the tunes either through headphones or good quality speakers as laptop and small loudspeakers will struggle to reproduce the lower frequencies and may sound rather “tinny”.

Andy Gleadhill’s African Drumming Book 1 is the classic African Drumming class teaching guide, based on over 20 years of classroom teaching experience, and has been specially written to help teachers and workshop leaders teach African drumming and rhythms to class-sized groups.

The book is clear and practical and no previous drumming or music teaching experience is assumed. It begins with an introduction to basic playing techniques, followed by warm-up exercises, and proceeds to introduce 10 African rhythms, each with teaching and learning notes and examples of how to develop them into complete pieces of music ready for performance.
