Djembe Drumming at Colville Primary

At Colville Primary, we have had Catherine and her team teach djembe drumming to our year 6 classes and as an after school club to our younger pupils. The Year 6 children were thoroughly engaged, loving every moment as did the adults who joined in. As an after school club, the pupils are having fun while learning to play the drums together. Catherine and her drummers excel at working with all children.

Mangotree excels with drums

Cassandra Centre held a drumming session presented by Catherine and her master drummer. People taking part were aged 8 to 80! Master drummer was excellent at engaging everyone, giving instructions on basic drum beats also informing us of history of djembe drum.
I would recommend Mangotree, both Catherine and her master drummer showed passion for drums and interest in those taking part in the drumming session.

I am writing to thank you so much for yesterday’s performance at the lunch club. I wasn’t able to be part of the performance but the feedback, I received from staff and from the attendees of the club was that they thoroughly enjoyed the session.
Why they enjoyed it: They noted how professional you both were, you explained what you were doing, they understood what was happening, the session was interactive.

Even our usual critics had nothing but praises. I met one at the door this morning and she was smiling.

Thank you very much and we will defo be asking you to come back again.

It was a real pleasure to attend your senior citizens group and to see them all have so much fun with children and young adults that were also there. African drumming at the heart of the community your quote “she was smiling” is what Mangotree Kids is all about. We look forward to our next visit.

Ekaya Housing Association used the Mangotree Kids Drum Circle experience at our Black History celebration. It was super engaging, enjoyable and informative. The master drummer gave us a 'beginners session' in how to make a few sounds on the drum and we were making wonderful sounds as a group by the end of the hour. Excellent team building session!

Highly recommended

My 7 year old has always been interesting in playing the Djemebe drum, so I was very excited when I found Mangotree Kids offered drumming lessons for children. My son loved the lesson and has been practicing every day, and looking forward to the next one. The teacher was kind and patient... highly recommended.

Mangotree Kids have come into preschool for their 6 week drumming course. All the children can participate at once as Mangotree Kids have so many drums. The children and teachers have delighted to learn how to drum and go on adventures each week as they learn about the different countries in Africa. Mr Drummer man is exceptional at drumming and Catherine is full of energy and inspires the children to learn and have a great time. Well worth it and we will repeat this with the next cohort of children.

Mangotree Kids is a vibrant company which I have had the pleasure of using over many years. The children absolutely love the drumming sessions where they can play worth a professional drummer. We all dress up, play and dance to the African drums. We have discovered some amazing young dancers and musicians. The session brings with it the biggest smiles from all who take part. Sheer joy!
Mango tree Kids supplies us with authentic resources true to culture. Inclusive practice is important to me representing every child’s culture in my setting. Representation truly matters and Katherine supports you to chose supplies within your budget that will help you to include all children in your setting so they are seen in all areas of learning.

Natural black doll

Received my doll today she is black, beautiful, with natural black hair and wonderful clothes. She came in a beautiful African print bag. I received a personal call for purchase I was more then happy and so is the child I bought it for. Will be ordering another for my 22 year old daughter just because I can and she wanted it.

Excellent place to find multi cultural toys, books and access services such as African drumming classes and culturally themed birthday parties. An absolute God-sent for parents of mixed race and non-white children to make them feel represented and included. Highly recommend. Very professional and everything is of great quality, designed with care and excellent attention to detail.

Mangotree Kids the best in class

Mangotree Kids is provides some of the best multicultural educational resources I’ve ever come across. Their unique approach to addressing the lack of diverse toys and educational resources puts them at the forefront of this sector. You’ll be pleasantly surprised of their range and the outstanding drumming programs they offer, which I highly recommend as a good team building exercise and stress-buster.
