The Virtual African Drumming resource allows pupils and students across key stages 2, 3 and 4, to explore and participate in the exciting music of the Ewe people from Ghana. As they develop rhythmic material, learners listen, play and evaluate, using ICT to capture, change and combine the sounds. The class can work together or in smaller groups and combine the sections to perform and evaluate. It gives support with background information and quizzes on the Ewe culture and their drums, including the Kidi and the Atsimevu. The link with dance is made and the resource makes good use of a video of dancers.

Produced by the Wells Cathedral School, the producers of the Virtual Javanese Gamalan. This resource can be downloaded from the link.
