Rock School UK’s Indian drumming workshops will introduce your pupils to the traditional sounds of India. During our Indian drumming workshops, your pupils will have the opportunity to learn how to play a range of Indian drums and percussion instruments such as the Dhol, Thumbi, Chipli, Manjira Bells, and the Dhap. Pupils will have the opportunity to learn traditional Dhol rhythms. These rhythms can be played in unison or as multi part and solo part sections. Indian vocabulary poetry is quite amazing as every sound that is produced on the Dhol can be spoken word for word; this is will be fascinating for your pupils to explore.
