How Are Drums Used In Different Cultures?
How Are Drums Used In Different Cultures?
A learning lab for Preschool & Kindergarten educators discussing six ways drums are used in different cultures across the globe and throughout history. The lesson provides various objects, resources, and activities from Smithsonian museums & Affiliates. The goal of the lesson is underscored by a foundation of anti-bias education: "same but different". While all drums are an object one uses to make a sound, they vary in many ways across time periods, cultures, and contexts. Students will walk away from this lesson with an understanding that there is not one correct way to use a drum, nor is there one correct way to use or do anything. This is exciting because differences are what make us interesting, and we must be curious to learn from others. The lesson also touches on topics of spirituality, inequality, and activism.
