Professional Experience
Beginners Drumming Classes Our beginners drumming classes are for anyone wanting to try their hands on a drum with no previous drumming or music experience needed. Everyone is welcome to come and play and we encourage families with children 8+ to come and share the excitement of drumming together. These classes will show you the different parts that make African rhythms so groovy and contagious. We will introduce you to African instruments and the sounds they make, with simple ways to find the sounds on your drum. We will play with fun coordination and rhythm skills to get you grooving together. These skills will be based on one West African rhythm over the five weeks so you will be able to take these part away and play them together or in a drum circle.
