“Drumming Up the Stories” brings world folk tales to life through drumming, song, and audience participation.  Audiences learn how the drum was first used to communicate,  how music can enhance storytelling and how instruments can be created from ordinary objects.  With stories from places like Ghana, India, Ireland and Tibet,  students are introduced to new cultures, languages, and lessons, all woven together by world drumming, sound effects and folk songs.   Audiences are also encouraged to draw on the sounds and characters from their own environment to create stories about their own unique lives. “Drumming Up the Stories” is a perfect program for elementary school assembly programs, library performances, and day camps!   In the metro Atlanta area, Drumming Up the Stories is scheduled through Young Audiences, Woddruff Arts.

“The performance was great!  He had a lot of instruments.  There were stories and they were funny too.  I think anybody who sees this show is going to love it!”
