Our classes run for 3 weeks in succession and each class is 60 minutes long. Seats are limited so we recommend booking and reserving your seat as soon as you can.
In these classes you will learn all about and play Traditional West African Rhythms on a Djembe (Jem-Bay) which is played with your hands. You will also be introduced to drums called Dunun which are played with sticks. During this 3 week program we will assist your learning by providing a short YouTube video each week with easy notation. The final week is filmed so you can impress your family and friends with how far you have come and this will also be placed into the YouTube bank of videos that you can access time and time again.
