We have been very fortunate in Music that Christmas came early and we were able to get our new drums before next year.  If you were able to come to our End of Year Assembly you would have heard them in action.  Our new drums are called Djembes, they are a traditional African style of hand drum that you play by holding them between your knees.  They are rather loud but great fun to play as you can make a range of high and low sounds with them.  You do this based on how you hit the head of the drum with your hand, either in the middle for a low bass tone, or across the edge for higher pitched tones.  You can even get combinations of the two.  I’m looking forward to some sunny days next year when we can get outside and enjoy playing them in our drum circles again.

Have a great holiday and see you next year in Music.
