Percussion Workshop with Dave ! !

Yesterday a man called Dave from Jabba Jabba Jembe came in to do a percussion workshop with class Amina :) Since then we now refer to ourselves as the Aminians as this is an African word ! ! . . . In the morning we had our double Mini- Company so we were also able to prepare for the finals of the 'Get Up And Go' competition on the 7th of April :) Dave came in at 10.40 and that s when we began our day ! We started off learning simple rhythms and then we proceeded to move on to the harder ones ! It was really good. Some of the rhythms we learned were 'sliced pan', jabba jabba jembe to name but a few. . . . . In the afternoon he showed us a video on how rhythm is included in everyday life in Africa, they live rhythm :) This was really cool :L He also showed us a video on the most famous musician in Africa. . . Later on he taught us an actual African song along with jembe and base drums ! It was really fun ! He also taught us Samba music and Lauren T. got up and danced some moves for us. Overall it was a great day ! !
