Salaka Drumming

For the last two days, students have been entertained by drummers from Africa, learning the skills of playing the djembe, an African drum commonly called the ’talking’ drum. From the bass hit, to the tone hit, to the slap hit, all students had the chance to play the instrument and what a great sound they made. Learning about African culture at the same time, the show captivated everyone’s attention - especially when they did back flips!

Enjoying making music

Here are some of out Year 5 and 6 students enjoying guitar and ukulele on the verandah of the senior music room.  They play each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at morning tea break.
