Themes

Methodology

Noah, a qualified and experienced teacher from Cameroon, creates a relaxed atmosphere which motivates all children (irrespective of age and ability) to enjoy learning.  They develop understanding and skills by taking part in hands-on interactive activities and processes.

All children have the opportunity to play instruments, dance, sing, sometimes compose music and participate in role plays.

Question Time is always a dynamic and interesting feature of each session.

Workshops stimulate a wealth of cross-curricular follow-up activities:

• Creative writing

• Drawing

• Storytelling

• Creative story-making

• Even composing an African musical!

Students not only enjoy learning about music, but they also:

• learn about themselves, gaining confidence in their abilities & skills

• develop a “teamwork” feeling as they have to listen and play in groups

• discover the treasures of cultural diversity in the wider world

• understand how to respect positive role models from “other” places.

Early Years and Nurseries

Learning Disabilities

Noah has experience with many different types of child and adult learner.  As well as its energizing properties, African music has a powerful therapeutic value.  People with physical or behaviuoral differences respond well, participating in workshops at their own pace and at their own level.

Everyone has rhythm and everyone can enjoy making music, from the most basic sounds to more challenging ones.  Learning to play as members of a group is fun and satisfying.

Noah works in close collaboration with staff to meet particular requirements of specific groups.

Workshop Details and Fees

Noah Afro Music has experience of working flexibly with over a thousand schools, many with specific requirements, arts centres and libraries. We adapt to and satisfy the very different needs according to:
