This Brazilian Samba Primary Scheme of Work is subdivided into ten lessons, each with Objectives, Outcomes, Warm-ups and/or Starters, Main Activities, Plenaries and Performance Opportunities and is suitable for any beginner group, whatever the age range of the players.
The Scheme includes an Overview document which gives an ‘at a glance’ view of the Objectives and content of each lesson, a list of Keywords, the Resources Required and a generalised Expected Outcomes section.
A column on the right of each lesson page gives clear references to the Andy Gleadhill book which the Primary Scheme of Work is based upon, which will also assist you in preparation before the lesson. You will, of course, know your own students better than we will, so feel free to adapt the pace and flow of the lessons according to your own needs. Think of the Primary Scheme of Work as excellent starting points to get your musical classroom well on the way to engaging lessons that are fun and educational for all involved.
We recommend that you read through the content entirely before teaching so that you know the intended long term outcome of the lessons. This will allow you to adjust the content for your group effectively to ensure that learning remains high and interest is retained, even if it means reducing the content. At the heart of these lessons we are essentially aiming to give students performance skills and a musical and social awareness that will allow them to make more music in the future by performing with others in a group.
When teaching whole class ensemble playing, it’s important to have high quality instruments that are designed for the classroom, but it’s also vital to have the right teaching support: support that enables you to deliver authentic and engaging World Music lessons, which keep everyone involved and that everyone enjoys. Our teaching support gives you just that and is suitable both for class teachers who have no prior music experience, and for music specialists and includes “how to play” videos showing basic techniques, audio tracks demonstrating the examples and pieces covered, schemes of work and lesson plans and useful cultural and other background articles.

One page SoW overview and one page individual lesson overviews as downloadable PDFs, referencing exercises and key sections of Andy Gleadhill’s Brazilian Samba Book.
Guarantee
The best quality materials and manufacturing methods are used to make our Brazilian Samba instruments and accessories and they’re designed for serious, long term use in the classroom. Looked after properly the instruments will give many years of satisfaction, and under normal use the materials and workmanship are guaranteed as follows:
Surdos, Caixas, Repiniques, Tamborim and Pandeiro shells – 1 year. But take special care with bigger drums as the aluminium shells can get dented if treated roughly. This won’t affect the sound but it will certainly spoil the appearance.
Drum heads – 6 months. But always use appropriate beaters (please ask us if you’re not sure) and beware sharp points. Drum heads are the most fragile part of any drum and you should expect to have to replace them regularly, especially if they’re getting lots of use. Please note that the hard plastic skins of caixas, repeniques and tamborims may quickly show dent marks, but that they can still be played.
Samba Hand Percussion – 1 year. Agogo bells and Ganza are tough and will take plenty of use but don’t drop them, especially on to hard surfaces, or throw them around.
Storage/carry bags and accessories – 2 years. But keep bags away from sharp points and don’t over-fill them or force the zips.
If you should get any problems with any of our Brazilian Samba instruments or accessories, please take photos of the issues and email them to us with the order/invoice number and a brief description of how the problem arose and we’ll get back to you right away.
Do remind your players that Samba instruments are not indestructible and that , like all musical instruments, they need to be treated with care and respect, even when played with enthusiasm!
