Djembe Drumming Fun
The drums are calling you! Traditional rhythms from West Africa, played on djembes (goblet-shaped hand drums) and dununs (bass drums played with sticks), will be taught in a hands-on format. Students will learn to play a variety of rhythmic patterns and signals, which we will combine to create multi-part, drum ensemble music. Students will also learn basic hand and stick drumming techniques, fundamentals of rhythm, coordination and timekeeping skills. Beginners welcome. Instruments provided.
