Do the children need any experience?

None at all. Every child is handed an instrument and a part they can play from the first minute, whatever their confidence or needs.

All primary ages, both KS1 and KS2. KS1 workshops run 45 minutes and KS2 workshops run an hour.

How many children can take part?

Up to 20 at the Crypt. If you would like a whole class or year group to join in, we can bring the workshop to your school, where there is no limit on numbers.

Do you provide the instruments?

Yes. A drum or percussion instrument for every child is included, so there is nothing for the school to bring.

Are your tutors checked to work with children?

Yes. Every workshop is led by an experienced, DBS-checked professional drummer.
