Drum Works
Drum Works uses drumming as a tool to inspire young people creatively, give them confidence in their ideas and empower them to direct their own futures. The primary aim of Drum Works is to achieve social change through tackling some of the key issues facing young people in east London today. It confronts disengagement within schools and youth culture by using fast-paced, high-energy teaching processes and culturally relevant material to engage and inspire all young people from any background.
I have been a tutor with Drumworks since 2017. Within this role, I have lead weekley sessions in secondary schools, including a specialist group of young people with hearing impairments. More recently I have been running the afterschool, community groups - accessing young people ages 4 - 18.
