Samba Drums for Schools!

School samba programs from elementary schools through college are popping up all over the country! More and more adults are learning to play in community groups as well. Playing samba can be a lifelong pursuit unlike before.

Want advice about how to get started with your school samba drumming program? Go Samba is here to help.

Things to consider:

• Younger kids need smaller and lighter samba drums and equipment solutions.
   
• If they are uncomfortable they will not have fun and learn. 
  
  
• I can help you find, and special order the instruments and equipment that will work for your group of kids and your classroom.

Why start a program? Connections. Keeps kids physically active. Leads to life long music participation.

 Kids love drumming and the ensemble experience builds connections between kids. Playing samba requires relying on other participants. This builds trust and community among the players. Playing samba is physical. Samba baterias are a parading style of music. You can have kids up and stepping while playing keeping them physically active. A positive experience with music will keep kids playing their entire lives. Now that samba is spreading around the U.S. there are many opportunities to keep playing samba for a lifetime.
