A hand drum is any type of drum that is typically played with the bare hand rather than a stick, mallet, hammer or other type of beater.

The simplest type of hand drum is the frame drum, which consists of a shallow, cylindrical shell with a drumhead attached to one of the open ends.

There are many groups that are known for performing drums.

The East Side Drummers are one of the best and most world-renown groups.

They were formerly known as the Thompson pulse.

CULTURE IN SCHOOL July 5, 2008

Every child should take part in five hours of cultural activities each week under a schooloutlined.

The concern is that children from poorer families miss out on top art exhibitions, concerts or theatre productions because their parents cannot afford tickets.

This   aims to develop the artistic talents of youngsters in all areas of the country with a guarantee of five hours of “high quality” culture every week.

It also aims to nurture the next generation of artists and musicians and give all children more time to develop their own creative skills at school and in their free time.

It also gives free tickets and drama workshops to thousands of young people from poor areas of the country.

All children and young people should have the chance to experience top quality culture – whether that is seeing a play or dance performance, learning a musical instrument or producing some creative writing.

HISTORY OF SCIENCE

Well into the eighteenth century, science and nature were not quite synonymous, but only became so later with the direct use of what would become known formally as the scientific method, which was earlier developed during the Middle Ages and early modern period in Europe and the Middle East . Prior to the 18th century, however, the preferred term for the study of nature was natural philosophy, while English speakers most typically referred to the study of the human mind as moral philosophy. By contrast, the word “science” in English was still used in the 17th century to refer to the Aristotelian concept of knowledge which was secure enough to be used as a sure prescription for exactly how to do something. In this differing sense of the two words, the philosopher John Locke in An Essay Concerning Human Understanding wrote that “natural philosophy [the study of nature] is not capable of being made a science”.
