We had our Jabba Jabba Jembe workshop today with Dave!  It was absolutely brilliant!  Dave taught us a little about  the difference between a djembe and the bongos and also the golden rule of the djembe – only use your hand to play it!  We learned some rhythms with our body first and then we played them on the drums. 

1.  Wood pecker

2.  1, 2, 3, have a cup of tea

3. Circles – pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, slap, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, slap, 1,2,3, 1,2,3, and finishing with a drum roll for 1, 2, 3, 4!

The djembe is a wonderful instrument and we had great fun learning how to play it! 🙂
