About Us
|
EcoBeats is a recycled bucket drumming group. EcoBeats offer interactive bucket drumming workshops for all-age Festivals and Children's Festivals. EcoBeats workshops have been a huge hit at festivals across Australia including Woodford Folk Festival, Caloundra Music Festival and So Frenchy So Chic.
EcoBeats founder Nicola Ossher, has been drumming for over 20 years and has taught drums to a wide variety of people, as well as performed with the likes of Ben Lee, Joshua Nelson (USA), Miriam Lieberman, Hayley Grace & The Bay Collective and Alphamama. Predominantly a jazz drummer, Nicola has versatility across many other genres. Nicola’s passion for the environment led her to create the environmentally-friendly bucket drumming group EcoBeats where all materials are 100% recycled. Following several years running music therapy and drumming workshops at schools around Sydney, Nicola recently re-located to Northern NSW and is now running EcoBeats workshops at schools, festivals and events around QLD and NSW. The workshops are interactive, with drums provided for all, and cover a range of drumming including basic technique, drum rudiments and exploring rhythms and beats. They are appropriate for all ages, with no prior skill level required. |

“Nicola’s EcoBeats drumming workshop was inspiring, fun and practical. I have always felt like drumming was something out of my reach, but Nicola’s teaching style was gentle, inclusive and encouraging. She had an entire room full of adult beginners making exhilarating rhythms on a simple stack of buckets! As a teacher and adult educator, I would highly recommend her workshops for both professional development and school groups.”
