Djembe Drumming

Last spring, one of our friends set up a drumming class for homeschooled kids. It was wonderful. The teacher came to her house for an hour, and taught the bigger kids; while the mom's all watched the little ones, had tea, and chatted. Last year, we managed to borrow drums from the church. This year since Eva was interested, we decided to use some of our curriculum budget to purchase a couple of drums.
We went to a local warehouse, where there were walls and walls of drums (as you can see from the picture). We had lots of fun listening to the sounds of the different drums, and choosing one hand crafted African drum, and one little manufactured wooden drum. So now both kids have something to practice on during the week.
