Welcome

World Music Drumming, now in over 20,000 schools worldwide, is an innovative idea whose time has come. This successful curriculum has shown outstanding success at engaging all students in hand drumming traditions (West Africa, the Caribbean, and others) combined with singing, moving, playing other instruments, and creating.
