EMPOWER DRUMMING ACADEMY

Empower Drumming Academy
Empower Drumming Academy is a community-based organisation based in Heidelberg WC which aims to empower and equip the youth.
We aim to give hope to young learners in Oos- Dorp, Heidelberg, a previously marginalized community, which falls victim to many socio-economic ills.  As a means to address some of these issues, we use music as a tool to mitigate challenges and broaden the scope for positive expression and opportunities.  The Academy is lead by local musician, Junayne Baatjies.

​As such, we provide a skill-based music education program that can contribute to a modern economy and assist the youth in taking their place in the technological society of the 21st century - in order to inculcate in the student's skills, entrepreneurship values and traits of good leadership. 

We teach young learners from the age of 4-to 18 from our community how to play the drums and read drum notation by facilitating the Trinity College syllabus grade 1 - 8. Once they've completed each grade, we send their exam to Trinity College's online exams department to get them graded and present them with a certificate.
