More about the course

During the course, you will work on your drumming technique for the drums you are using, as well as body percussion, and for the more advanced students, the art of improvisation.

You will also learn the songs and chants that accompany the rhythms, along with their cultural significants.

We will be performing at Thursday's Party in the Park and also at the Grand Finale concert on Friday night.

As the circle of drummers expands, so too our connection with the rhythm of life grows strong once again.
