Cultural Drumming

Cultural Drumming

Cultural Drumming is a musical, rhythmical and movement experience designed to provide understanding, respect and insight to music, rhythms and movements that are unique and representative of cultures from around the globe.

Important principles that apply to the cultural drumming portion of the Drums Alive^® program should also include the following:

• Teach respect and appreciation for the music and movements of the culture you are representing.
• Experiment with different music, rhythms, beats and meters, which will help capture the feelings and moods of the culture represented.
• Choose a variety of flavors, moods and dynamics that will provide participants with a fun and expressive way to experience cultural drumming.
• During this section, the sky is the limit as far as your choice of music and movement, but it is important to stay within the realm of a safe and effective workout. BPM may vary according to the music selected.

The Cultural Drumming choreography can last from approximately 5 – 10 minutes, or you may select to teach a whole class on rhythms and movement from around the world.
