Last time workshop with this group was quite intense so we thought it would be a good idea to bring with us Thomas Annang from Releasing Rhythms and Davy Bates, freelance musician, for a drum circle session, something more fun and more practical.
The YP were split into two groups so we have 2 different sessions. Thomas gave them a short description of the djembe (the African drum) and we could see the interest arising! Someone gave me a djembe too and after the first instructions was getting very proud of myself, then it all got a bit too difficult for me! It`s quite funny actually as one of the boys took great pleasure in teaching me how to play the drum!
Tracy Dempsey joined us too, she`s a life coach from the `Soul Ambition` and a very good musician too. She will get involved in future workshops and she came to meet the group!
Darren missed most of the fun: he was in a separate room with some of the YP offering advice on radio recording. Such a lucrative atmosphere!
I remember leaving Education by Choice smiling, the day`s workshop was successful, the YP all wanted to know when we`d be back with Charles and Thomas again.
But they haven`t met the other artists yet!
