We learn amazing three part djundun ( African bass drums played with stickes!) rhythms and fun orchestration to accompany the djembes in the African Ensemble style of playing. It is helpful to have your own djuns on which to practice and some are needed for classes. Sticks are required for everyone. ( available for sale at DRUMZ)

BEGINNER HAND DRUMMING....Discovering the Magic of Hand Drumming six weeks session begins Jan. 14th, Wednesdays from 8-9pm. Covers the fundamentals of hand drumming and rhythms and we learn many West African rhythms, intros, and songs in these classes. You are encouraged to stay in Beginner Level classes until you feel totally comfortable with the hand technique and the orchestration and the in-the-moment- music-making! We have students who remain in Beginner level for years and enjoy the music and the rhythms year after year....being relaxed and at ease is a major key in being a good drummer and competition has no place in these classes!

THURSDAY EVENINGS
INTERMEDIATE DJEMBE AND DJUNDUN
6:45-7:45, beginning Thursday night January 15th. This class requires experience and it is good to get the instructors feedback if you wish to be in this class as it moves at a fast pace, has more complicated orchestration and requires good hand technique and a clear sense of timing and simply demands some years of experience. Thanks!

THURSDAY MORNINGS
** NEW CLASS! ALL LEVEL DJEMBE AND DJUNDUN WOMEN'S
"REMEMBERING RHYTHM"CLASS resumes this session beginning on Jan. 15th. Great day time class for women! We explore lots of awesome rhythms and songs and enjoy a morning class of high energy. We will also work on some pieces to be played in the YOGA WITH LIVE DRUMMING Class which follows at noon with Janet Farnsworth! These are both new and exciting classes this session. 

I look forward to sharing a rhythm with you in 2015! Gift Certificates are available and Drumming Classes and Drums make unique and meaningful  holiday gifts for special people on your holiday list! ALL AGES love drumming! Music is our Universal language and rhythm is our Mother Tongue...giver the gift of music and lets raise the consciousness and the vibration of our sweet old world in 2015!
With peace, love, and gratitude,
Sherry
