The school hall was filled with sensational Samba music this morning when Gateshead Music Service came to deliver a jam packed, fun filled, Samba bonanza.

We learnt lots of facts about the musical culture of Brazil and found out the Portuguese names for the different percussion instruments.

Everyone took part playing rounds of musical rhythms and patterns to create a fantastic Samba music composition.

If your child is interested in developing Samba drumming further, the Dryden Centre in Gateshead offer lessons so contact them to find out more information.
