A NEW beat has been added to the curriculum at Grove Primary School in Trowbridge.

Students have taken part in 30 minute sessions, learning the skills of drumming, while having a go themselves.

The drumming workshop was held by Kaya, a professional drumming team.

Led by Alex Miles, the project co-ordinator, the children were able to express themselves creatively through music.

The school's arts co-ordinator and teacher Helen McPherson said: "The sessions were really fantastic and reached out to everyone.

"The children have benefited so much from working together as a team and it has been great for confidence building. They have had a lot of fun playing so many rhythms."
