African Drumming workshops and performances for International Student Events
We had an absolutely fantastic drumming session this month working with the University of York Student Admissions and Recruitment service. They organised a special residential for prospective students at the York University campus and called on us to provide a fun and exciting drumming activity to help the young people interact and get to know each other. For this event we provided our special Boomwhacker Challenge session.
African Drumming Workshops and Performances for University freshers Events
This Boomwhacker Challenge involves everybody coming together to learn the basics of Boomwhacker playing and rhythm making before splitting up into smaller teams to devise a short rhythm, chant or choreographed piece. The teams return to play together again with each team showcasing what they have achieved. The final outcome is the creation of a musical piece, built up from the ‘core’ rhythm and each group’s unique compositions.
Student Drumming Events for Universities and Colleges
The groups came up with some absolutely brilliant ideas! Here is what some of the students had to say about the event:
Student Comments
"Absolutely loved it! I went away tapping the rhythm after the session. It was so fun."
" The tune built up well, and it was great that we could split off into groups to make our own little thing, and then showcase it in front of 50+ people. A very fun and useful session "

The Boomwhacker session was wonderful. Unbeatable Energy were full of energy and enthusiasm, which was infectious. Most of the students were complaining about being tired before this session, but the Boomwhackers woke them up and got them excited.The students enjoyed learning the rhythms and working in their groups to produce their own work. Highly recommended!
