We had the pleasure of taking part in a vibrant and engaging African drumming session designed for people with learning disabilities — and what an incredible experience it was!

​

From the moment the session began, the energy in the room was electric. The facilitator created a welcoming, inclusive environment where everyone felt safe and encouraged to express themselves. The rhythms were infectious, and the hands-on nature of the drumming allowed everyone to fully participate, regardless of ability or experience.

What stood out most was the way the session combined fun with therapeutic value. Drumming together helped build confidence, improve coordination, and foster a real sense of community and connection among the participants. Everyone was smiling, laughing, and clearly enjoying the opportunity to make music together.

​

The instructor was patient, enthusiastic, and skilled at adapting the session to meet individual needs. They took the time to ensure that everyone could follow along, offering support when needed while still allowing freedom for creativity and self-expression.

​

Overall, it was a joyful and uplifting experience that left a lasting impression. We would highly recommend this type of session to anyone looking for a fun, accessible, and empowering group activity. It was more than just music — it was a celebration of rhythm, inclusion, and shared experience.
