Description
The Primary 10 Player Pro Wide Top Buddies Class Pack is a cost-effective solution for lunchtime and after-school groups, as well as small class groups for KS1 and KS2 pupils (ages 11 and below). It’s the ideal choice for schools wishing to explore our collaborative ‘learning by playing’ method on a smaller scale before investing in a full-class ensemble.
This pack includes 5 top-quality Pro Wide Top Djembe drums and 5 percussion instruments, offering a wide range of authentic West African drumming sounds. The set includes three sizes of djembes, making it easy to differentiate between low, medium, and high parts of various West African djembe rhythms and pieces.
The Pro Wide Top djembes are designed to be lighter and more compact than traditional djembes, making them ideal for classroom use. With extra-wide drum heads, smooth shells, and rubber edging for floor protection, these drums are perfect for classroom environments and small group activities.
Also included are two acclaimed teaching guides by world music expert Andy Gleadhill: ‘West African Drumming Book 1’ and ‘Percussion Buddies’. The West African Drumming Book takes your group from the basics to their first performance in just 10 lessons, providing a repertoire for a year or more of lessons. The Percussion Buddies book helps develop percussion accompaniments for drumming, choral, ukulele, and other musical ensembles.
The Primary 10 Player Wide Top Class Pack is perfect for schools from KS1 to KS4, offering inclusive participation for students of all abilities. Drumming provides a transformative experience for hard-to-reach students, engaging them in ways that other lessons might not.
There’s also lots of FREE online support available, including PDF downloads of the Primary Scheme of Work and a helpful Background Article. You can also access a full selection of West African Drumming teaching resources, including videos, through the “Documentation” section below.
