In the 30 minute workshop, Dr Aaron Graham will discuss how to teach hand drumming to beginners. The workshop will begin with simple techniques which may be learned and demonstrated by anyone (regardless of musical background). These techniques may be performed on actual hand drums such as a djembe or conga, or typical household items such as laundry hampers or cardboard boxes (for those who are non-musicians). Dr Graham will then explore how those techniques may be applied to creating simple grooves in small and large group settings, as well as allow participants to begin soloing overtop of these grooves. This is an activity which not only incorporates physical action in creating fun and interesting rhythms but also demonstrates knowledge that may be useful to a wide array of people beyond just music educators, as it is an ideal method of bringing a community together in an exciting and engaging experience.
