West African Drumming

with Taylor

Longtime Old Town School percussion teacher Taylor holds court in the Kids Tent! In his work with children, Taylor has seen how drumming can enliven and educate on a number of different levels. Qualities like discipline, patience, focus and determination translate into reward, community and "positivity" when children drum. "It is fascinating seeing kids understand what it is to understand on a deeper level than they are accustomed to," states Taylor, "by this I mean not only understanding and mastering the pieces of the puzzle, the parts, but fitting them together, making one rhythm, one puzzle, where everyone has a role in the whole."
