What's that sound?

What lucky things we were this week! We got the chance to learn the Djembe drums on Wednesday afternoon and those drums were almost as big as we are! We learnt that the Djembe drum comes from Senegal in West Africa, (just like our Djembe teacher!) and we were soon practicing hitting the drum in time - it took us a bit of work to make sure we all struck the drum at the same time, but we mastered it. Next, we learnt a few different beats, whether it was banging the drum twice, or four times, before we practiced a call and response song with our Djembe teacher. 

We loved getting the chance to try out this instrument and we hope we can do it again soon!
