TECHNIQUE / BEGINNERS CLASS The place to start your journey on the djembe. | |
 | If you have just entered the land of the drum, welcome to the circle! This is the course for you!!! You’ll learn the A.B.C. of the djembe in a fun, relaxed and friendly environment. This course is also suitable for people who have played for a few months and enjoy the easy going pace of learning. The focus is on getting the right technique when playing your drum, finding the bass, tone and slap sounds without hurting your hands. Plus you will learn a whole rhythm, complete with hand drum parts and breaks etc. |
BEGINNERS / INTERMEDIATE CLASS Where you develop a solid foundation in rhythm. | |
 | This course is pitched at people who have already learnt basic technique on the djembe and are keen to get their teeth stuck into some interesting traditional and contemporary rhythms. Be ready for a faster paced learning, going deeper into the rhythms, both in understanding and in learning advanced versions plus all the breaks, calls, solo's etc. |
