No prior experience is necessary. Integrating African music with the Orff approach, this book presents a developmental sequence of drum instruction for children as young as 5 but is applicable to any age. It weaves drum instruction into the tapestry of current music education programs in a way that quickly allows all students to play this beautifully complex music and cultivates students' skills to the point where they can all participate in playing polyrhythmic ensemble music
