       Our School "Bang a Bongo" Programmes


Of course when it comes to drumming we cannot forget the children, (the best drummers of all) and Eddie is particularly noted for his innovative work with young children in Primary schools and older teens in Transition year at second level schools and colleges.

                                                              Drum Circle Magic


We have been visiting schools all over Ireland for many years now presenting one day workshops and longer residencies from 5 weeks to a full school year!
Possibly the most popular of these programmes is the "drum circle magic" workshop. Using the format of a drum circle Eddie uses drumming, rhythm based games and activities to teach not only musical skills but more importantly life skills and personal development skills such as Cultural studies, self esteem, creativity listening skills plus many important social skills like inclusion, communication, sharing, teamwork and respect for self and others.
These are all delivered using a very friendly, fun and simple approach that is synonymous with Eddie's style.
The workshop is designed to be educational, entertainging and developmental.

                                                     Performance Preparation Programme


Eddie can also work with a specific class/classes to teach them a suitable African rhythm to be performed at a school concert assembly, cultural day, fun-day etc. this is great fun and a little more intense and so is more suitable to older children ie 4th, 5th, 6th classes and of course Transition year students at second level. This programme normally takes the form of a visit to your school once a week for 5 to 6 weeks prior to the performance date. A class of up to 30 children can be turned into a wonderful drumming/percussion orchestra that will amaze the audience at any performance event.
