Sound Africa workshop guides

Prepare your venue and access needs for African drumming

Practical guidance for arranging an African drumming workshop with Tobi Akiode.

Before the workshop

Provide your venue and town, proposed date, participant ages and numbers, preferred duration and what you want the session to achieve. Agree room layout, safe access, instrument space, timetable and setup arrangements directly with Tobi.

Inclusive participation and sensory planning

Discuss volume sensitivity, seating, quiet breaks, mobility and communication needs. Access or sensory notes support planning without an automatic surcharge. Share practical adjustments, not medical records, diagnoses or sensitive personal histories in the enquiry form or public community.

Sound and supervision

Discuss hearing sensitivity and appropriate volume before attending. Do not play through pain or discomfort; pause and tell the facilitator. Schools, childcare providers and care organisations retain their supervision and safeguarding roles. Individual suitability and adjustments must be discussed; no universal safety guarantee is offered.

Plan your workshop and request a confirmed quote, or email info@tobiakiode.com.
