Inspired The Bucket Drumming workshop
1mred ignited learner passion with its inspirational bucket drumming workshop—a place where fun meets learning, and kids are encouraged to embrace their uniqueness, work diligently, and chase their dreams through the power of music and a deep dive into a fascinating aspect of American culture. The program provides a constructive outlet for learners to express themselves creatively, fostering artistic growth and personal expression. By incorporating an educational aspect through the history and technique of bucket drumming, the workshop also engages young people in a learning experience that extends beyond traditional classroom settings. Drumming is a physically engaging activity that can enhance coordination, rhythm, and overall physical health.
What is the connection between this outreach project and the principles of the portrait?
Performing in front of peers serves as a powerful tool for confidence-building, encouraging students to step out of their comfort zones and embrace vulnerability in a supportive setting.
While ensemble performance teaches collaboration and listening skills, learners also had the opportunity to showcase their unique style and creativity.
As a result of our experience, the school is adding bucket drumming to their drum and dance unit.
“My favorite part was learning how to make cool sounds with the bucket and playing fun beats with my friends.”
