African Music and Culture Workshops for Schools
An hour of interactive African singing, African drum playing and African dancing. This African music workshop is great for up to 100 students. Guided by 2 experienced musicians from Africa.
Your school workshop will begin with an overview of the African geography, African history and the culture of African countries. This is followed by the introduction and demonstration of African music and African instruments from different areas. The instructors will explain how music is used in festivals and local ceremonies in African life – naming, harvest, weddings and burials.
Your students will participate in a mock ensemble as African drum players, singers and dancers. They will learn a few traditional African chants, songs and rhythms.
At the end of each workshop, the instructors will perform for your students.
Book an African Connection workshop for your school and your students will get:
- An exposure of students to African culture, history and geography

- A mind-opening and bonding experience
- A physical and musical adventure
Tunde presented a very practical seminar to my senior music students at Acacia Ridge State High School. It was very evident that Tunde’s knowledge of African music in general is highly extensive. The seminar included not only musical information but thorough and necessary geographical, historical and current information on many countries of the African continent. Specific content on musical instruments, elements and rhythms were demonstrated and taught to the students.
On the whole I was very aware that the students were at an educational advantage having Tunde discuss with them a subject of which he is obviously an expert.
I do not hesitate to recommend Tunde. I have great respect for him as a musician and instrument-maker. Please contact me for any further information.

African Drum Making Workshops for Community Centres
Participants create their own African drum (Congo, Batá/Bembe or Djembe drum) and learn the basics of African drumming in a fun atmosphere.
Drum shells are from Africa and, with Tunde’s instructions, are relatively easy to make. The creation of the drum starts at the preparation of the shell and skin, then working trough the roping, tightening and decorative finishes.
Once the drums are ready, participants learn to play the wonderful beats of traditional African music with Tunde.
The community workshops involve 3 sessions for up to 30 participants – Drum Making, Tuning & Decorating and Playing.
They are an excellent choice for:
- Chill-out sessions for youth
- Exposure to the African culture and to African music
