Drum Works in Schools
“Drum Works has been invaluable in raising the level of musicianship at St. Paul’s Way Trust school, something particularly evident with Pupil Premium students. We have students engaging with GCSE and A level who have no home access to music, students engaging with orchestra and choir encouraged by Drum Works. They have supported students to access music in a way impossible in the classroom.”
– Jonny Hoyle, Director of Performing Arts
Drum Works promotes engagement in learning, encourages social cohesion and develops key skills in its participants. High-quality creative sessions led by experienced professional musicians enable participants from all backgrounds and all levels of musical experience to create something they enjoy and are proud of.
We work with our partner schools to identify students who stand to benefit most from taking part, including (but not limited to) those with behavioural, social or emotional difficulties, with SEND, or with musical talent but no access to formal musical training outside the classroom. Our artist leaders build positive relationships with students, providing individual support and guidance for every participant.
“A shining example of what is possible when expectations are set at a high level and students are surrounded by excellence”
– Peter Romhany, former Head of Music at Morpeth School
There are a number of different options for schools to engage with Drum Works, ranging from one-off workshops to half-term projects to the full Drum Works programme. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
