The Youth Africa Music Experience Price: £17.95
This book is all about getting involved, having fun, discovering more about African music, and making some noises - some that may be musical, some that may be less so! It's definitely not just for musicians! In fact, neither you nor the young people you work with need to be a technical 'expert' in anything in order to make successful use of the materials and activities in this book and CD. It is about participation, experimenting, sharing enthusiasms, relationship-building, creative work with groups, and overcoming shyness or lack of confidence. This resource is not just for specialists.
The Youth Africa Music Experience allows different people to engage on different levels. Youth workers, teachers and community workers using this resource don't need to be able to play any musical instruments. They can still: help groups of young people from a whole range of communities to experience and share the 'buzz' of live music; encourage creative listening; support a range of imaginative activities; and open their own and young people's eyes and ears to the diversity of the world's music and culture. Skilled musicians can learn more about using African influences in their work. For all there are:
Ideas for a range of ways to engage young people with African music
Much of the material has been tested: in schools and clubs; by workers visiting different communities; in drum club meetings; at festival workshops and community events; with children, young people and people with learning difficulties; by young people visiting Denis Kigongo's Ugandan home; by a member of leading Afro-Jazz fusion guitarist Duncan Senyatso's backing band at the Green Belt festival.
The Youth Africa Music Experience can encourage and nurture further interest in African musical styles and the cultures in which they were born. The rhythms of music and African life interweave naturally with the people, their beliefs and customs, and the landscapes of both the natural and built environments. With the ideas and guidance in this book and CD, you can capture something of the essence of those rhythms in your youth club, community building or school. This is a companion resource to Youth Africa Experience, a book offering African games, activities, story-telling, recipes and food, plus links to African organisations and issues. Each book is an enriching resource in its own right. Together they can help you help young people to make a difference: in their own lives, in their communities, in Africa.
