I can hear the drums..

Last week, Ty's took part in a percussion workshop in the library with a man called Dave:) Fódla did theirs on Tuesday for the whole day, it was good fun!

Drum and percussion workshops are designed to give people more insight into the cultural back ground of the instruments and there use in Traditional music. The aim is to teach rhythms and drumming skills in a similar way to learning it from a traditional drum teacher. I found this really interesting as I didn't really know anything about that type of music.

We learned different traditional tunes on all the drums from big ones to little ones all of them making different sounds, loud but really entertaining at the same time! We also got try out other instruments like the tambourine and the cowbells, I really enjoyed this!

here is a picture of the drums that we got to use!:)
