Angela Grima's Childrens Teaching Experience
• Teaching at various schools as a classroom teacher. Organising
and teaching percussion, drumming, recorder groups and private flute
tuition for primary and high school aged children - these experiences

needs of the children and young adults in the different stages i.e.
Early Stage 1, Stage1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6
• Developing and implementing innovative percussion programs for
children with learning difficulties. These programs were very popular
and made a substantial contribution towards improving students self
confidence & understanding of the syllabus
• Conducting recycled percussion workshops for several hundred
children at Government and Private Schools over several months. This
culminated in the children with the assistance of the Drum Beats musicians
leading the Willoughby Councils Annual Spring Parade with a drumming
performance through the streets of Chatswood - 2003, 2004 & 2005
