JabbaJabbaJembe!

  Yesterday the TYs had a percussion workshop. Dave from "JabbaJabbaJembe" came to our school and we learned all about African style of drumming. The first thing he told us was that the drums that most people think are bongos are actually called djembes. 
   Starting off he did a beat on the djembe and we repeated after him. We then went around the class introducing ourselves and we did a beat on the drum. 
  My favorite part of the workshop was when he showed us a rhythm that we all repeated . We added other instruments to the beat and it sounded really good! Dave taught us a song that we sang with the drums. I really enjoyed the day! This is a picture of Dave and some of the drums he had :)
