This Website
On this Studio Lied website, we will learn about the performing artists, Drum Drum, and explore the idea of "building community through drumming." We introduce the artists themselves and talk about their cultural heritage. We explore the concept of community and how Drum Drum embodies this concept, and look at ways in which we experience community in our lives. There are also opportunities to "play around" with percussion instruments.Navigate
