Children at Cowes Primary School pupils had hands-on experience with drumming styles from different cultures recently.
The drums included Djembe drums from Africa and Dhol drums from India.
Around a quarter of Cowes Primary school pupils come from a foreign background.
Headmistress Stphanie Praetig said:
“We have had a fantastic time experimenting with different types of drumming, using Djembe drums from Africa and Dhol drums from India.
“The children’s reactions to the experiences were everything from ‘loud but so much fun’ to ‘he challenged us to to do strange and creative rhythms’.
“As a school of around 25% pupils from different countries all over the world, it was a wonderful way to explore different musical cultures and instruments…whilst of course having fun.”
