Rhythm Club: after-school drumming for children at Loose Primary School

After-School Rhythm Club at Loose Primary School

For children in Years 1, 2 & 3

After two successful years of drum circles at the Loose School fete, we’re excited to bring you the After-School Rhythm Club. A weekly drum circle with a djembe for every child, all provided, nothing to bring. We learn rhythms from around the world through games children already know, like musical statues, Simon Says and What’s the time, Mr Wolf, each with a drumming twist, woven with mindful listening and breathing to help everyone settle. Inclusive, joyful and full of energy, with no experience needed.

  • 🪘A djembe for every child, provided and set up, no sharing and no waiting for a turn
  • 🌍Rhythms from around the world, from West Africa to India to Brazil
  • 🎲Familiar playground games with a drumming twist, so every child can join in from the first minute, including those who are shy
  • 🧘Active turn-taking, mindful listening and gentle breathing, so children leave calm as well as empowered
  • 🎶A warm, friendly circle led by an experienced musician and rhythm practitioner

Thursdays, 3:20–4:20pm

This term's club is now underway, so we're not taking new bookings. Join the waiting list below for the January 2027 block and we'll be in touch with dates and how to book.
