Drum Journey At Westmount Public School 

Intro There can't be anything much simpler than using a common large water bottle for a drum. This grade three class had quite a fun time learning about the joys of drumming while making their own drums complete with their own custom art work. Along with exposure to some drumming using real African drums, these kids also got the chance to perform a rhythm for their school mates. ~ David

David Johannes would like to thank Ms. Miller, Kathleen, Mrs. Ischkin, and the Grade 3 Class of Westmount Public School for sharing their wonderful drum journey with me. I can tell by your pictures and writings that you are all amazing children and I hope that many of you continue to enjoy drumming, dancing and singing in the years to come. Keep the beat! ~ David
