We are super proud of our fantastic repinique player Amelie, who has been awarded a Blue Peter badge for her efforts in music! The letter she received said

‘We are awarding you a Blue Peter music badge, which is especially for Blue Peter viewers with a passion for music. Making, playing and listening to music is really important to so many young people, and this Blue Peter badge was designed to inspire even more children to get involved.’

Amelie puts so much effort into her learning when she attends our sessions, and it really shows in her playing. Well done Amelie, this is an amazing achievement! ⭐️

On , samba drum bands from around the world are coming together to celebrate the incredible leaders and teachers who help support drummers and their wellbeing. Leading a team is hard work so it’s great to give them a little shout out. 📣 The band performances are a tribute to the mentors who guide and inspire, making a lasting, positive impact on drummers and their communities. Join the celebration and let’s raise our voices (and drums) to say thank you to all the amazing teachers out there, whether it’s in the classroom, at a workshop or out on the streets! ✌🏼🥁🥁🥁 💪🏼
