CAP Community Cooking Samba at St Mark's

This week, CAP Music joined St Mark's Year 2 children to teach them some Samba drumming, in preparation for the Brighton Festival Children's Parade.

Queena and Portia immediately captured their imaginations by taking to the stage and teaching them the names of some of the Brazillian instruments and then a quick Samba dance. They all took part with enthusiasm and lots of energy!

Following this, they all had a little rest whilst watching all the CAP Musicians perform a Samba drumming routine, kindly taught to them by Roedean's new Drum teacher, Mr Chambers. Abi then directed them into small groups led by Alissandra, Maria, Lyris, Ines, Eni, Portia, Emilky, and Queena, to learn rhythms on the different instruments.

They rotated until they were ready to put it together at the end of the session. The CAP Musicians were incredibly impressed with how involved and well-behaved the Year 2s were. I was also very proud of how organised, kind, and enthusiastic the CAP Musicians were with them. They all made excellent teachers!

Everyone is already looking forward to the next session in a few weeks' time.
