Our mission is to empower students to tell their stories through music, connecting it to our diverse culture and powerful history. In addition to learning basic theory and techniques, all participants in The Talking Drum Music Summer Camp will engage in call and response activities to promote expression in words, movement, and music to set a positive tone for the day. Akin to an African village, our circle anticipates visiting musicians, community elders, college student mentors and storytellers to help foster a nurturing and healing environment.
