Drum Cafe - Proven Youth Team Building for Student Groups

All over the world, educators have used Drum Cafe on its own or as a component to create excitement, align students and break down barriers.

Simon Fraser University regularly includes Drum Cafe in their programming - check out their photo gallery.

"Drum Cafe was one of the most exciting programs we have ever had in the Pasadena Independent School District. Many of our schools plan to bring Drum Café to their campuses for teacher and student programs."
Karen Gibson, Exec. Director, Curriculum & Staff Development, Pasadena ISD, Houston TX

          
Kids' Interactive Drumming Session™                                                           

The Drum Cafe's Kids' Interactive Drumming Session (K.I.D.S.™) is a captivating learning experience, designed specifically for children from kindergarten through 7th grade.  The program expertly weaves elements of geography, social studies, language arts, and mathematics together with an engaging and interactive performance that is nothing less than thrilling.  Each and every student or teammate in your group gets a drum to play! Whether you have 20, 700 or 1500 young people, we provide a drum for each child, which lends to the power of the kinesthetic learning experience and youth team building.

Here at Drum Cafe we understand that children need something entertaining and exciting to keep their focus and encourage learning. The excitement of interactive drumming and our youth team building exercises does just that. Making music with teammates and classmates fosters a sense of togetherness that is further cultivated in the classroom and on the playing field.

Children learn about (and play) the Djembe Drum from West Africa, while understanding what's needed to create a community rhythm in cooperation with each other. In fact, the program speaks directly to the power of listening, and of demonstrating respect through this cooperative effort.

Along with relevant academic curriculum learning, and youth team building activities, the K.I.D.S.™ program includes the most important ingredient in successful children's experiences: FUN! Time and again, teachers and administrators compliment the program, noting how amazed they were to see the children focused for the entire program.

Our interactive educational events are the best ways for kids to foster relationships, and develop cognitive skills in a positive youth group team building environment. We offer customization of our programs in order to best suit your organization’s needs. Whether you have an entire weekend or a single afternoon, we can make every Drum Café event an experience to remember.

"Our kids and teachers loved it! Many teachers said it was the best TAKS pep rally we’ve ever had!!!  I will definitely keep you in mind as we start planning our August staff development. I know the rest of the staff would love your program. Thank you for thinking of our kids. We need all the positive vibes we can get. Our kids have very difficult home lives and on testing days, it’s a true challenge for many of them."
Yanira Oliveras, Principal John R. Good Elementary, Irving ISD
