SlappingSkins

creates a fun and dynamic learning environment where all participants feel successful.	provides high-energy activities through rhythm that provide immediate, positive feedback.	uses a basic and accessible form of music to encourage 'non-musical' students to participate.

helps individuals and groups to learn to play an instrument.	sessions incorporate twenty different drums and bells, played with hands and sticks.. so there's something for everyone.	provides percussion workshops to groups of all sizes. Aaron uses many traditional world percussion instruments in his sessions but has a particular love of djembe, the West African hand drum.

Aaron's typical opening session will introduce participants to the djembe and the basic playing style. Sessions usually focus on traditional West African rhythms and the background to the basis of modern music (jazz, R&B, blues, etc.)

focus is always on creating a fun, safe and creative environment for beginners, allowing them to develop new skills and express themselves.

" has been an inspirational mechanism for creating new energies for young people.

I have had the pleasure to be in attendance at some of the African drum rhthm workshops and have noted the reaction of the young people which echoes the vibrancy of the delivery."

"Music indeed does have the power to unite people beyond race, culture and nations.

It speaks to everyone's heart universally.

This is the magic that Aaron carries with him in the Slappingskins roadshow."
