Introducing the Drums for Schools African bongos

These authentic African bongos offer students an engaging way to explore rhythm and percussion in the classroom. With their distinctive dual-drum design, they provide twice the musical possibilities in one compact instrument.

Authentic Construction for Lasting Quality

Made of wood and goatskin, these bongos combine traditional craftsmanship with educational durability. The natural materials provide authentic tone and feel while being light but robust enough to withstand regular classroom use.

Distinctive Sound Profile

The two drums feature different random pitches of 'low' and 'high' creating the iconic Bongo sound that's instantly recognizable. This pitch variation allows students to explore melodic patterns, call-and-response activities, and complex rhythmic combinations that aren't possible with single-drum instruments.

Age-Appropriate Design

These bongos are sized to accommodate young hands while still providing room for growth. The generous playing surface makes it easy for beginners to achieve satisfying sounds right from their first attempts.

Progressive Learning Opportunities

Older players can advance their technique by playing with the bongos in their lap or on a desktop, using only their hands rather than beaters. This progression from beater-based to hand-based playing helps students develop proper technique and more nuanced expression as their skills develop.

Educational Benefits

Perfect for developing rhythm, coordination, and listening skills, these African bongos support cross-curricular learning opportunities. Students can explore cultural studies, mathematics through rhythm patterns, and social skills through ensemble playing, making them an invaluable addition to any music education program.
