Staff Feedback:

‘really interesting. I think the children will love it. The impact by African drummers is great!’

‘Good session – fun, information and well-paced. Everything explained clearly. Looking forward to getting started!’

‘Videos are really easy to follow and project seems great.’

‘It’s a fantastic project. It allowed the children to look at a whole new aspect of music. They have done lots of rhythm work with me before, but this is a whole new type of rhythm work with djembe drums.’

‘We love having music in the school – we were so well supported by Youth Music Initiative, it’s very inclusive, very good fun and there are just so many benefits, I can’t say thank you enough!’

The YMI Outcome for this project is:

Young people develop their music and music making skills.
