African drumming with In the Groove Drumming
Established in 2017, In the Groove was inspired by the power of music to educate, engage, heal and connect. Our programs and classes are largely inspired by West African rhythm and song, as traditionally this music is entwined with community, society and culture. In the Groove Drumming believe that music can act as a powerful vehicle in facilitating learning, building relationships and generating positive change.
