Learning through music
Introduce children to the joy of music through play-based learning using African-style drums known as Djembes.
These engaging and interactive sessions combine rhythm, movement, and developmental games to create a fun learning environment where children can build important life skills while experiencing the excitement of making music together. Suitable for a wide range of ages and ability levels, each session is tailored to meet the needs of the group and encourage participation from every child.

A session at a glance
Chewy has brought such a unique and amazing experience for our tamariki. It is a day they look forward to and we have watched their confidence grow, performing in a large group as well as individually. It's a magical time and Chewy is excellent at planning an exciting and fun program for all ages.

Our Preschool class had an awesome drumming session with Chewy. We absolutely loved playing the drums. The games we played meant we had to listen and move and communicate using the drums and rhythm. The children had an experience with music and a range of instruments that enriched their knowledge and appreciation of the power of music. Overall it was fun and interactive. Chewy very quickly developed a great rapport with the children.
