W. African Djembe Hand-drumming Intro Workshop April 13, 2013

With Barbara Gail of The Rhythm Inlet. Welcome all adults, motivated teens, and youth ages 10 and up w/ instructor permission. No musical experience needed.

Learn to play the most popular hand-drum! We focus on hand technique, learning rhythm patterns, how to find your place in the beat, and playing as a polyrhythmic ensemble. Perfect for the raw beginner, drum circle enthusiasts, as well as folks with some exposure to classes who seek instruction with a solid foundation. A positive experience for all!

Note: This Workshop kicks off our Weekly Beginner Djembe Series. It can stand alone as a single experience, or serve as your opportunity to try a class before committing to all 9 weeks. If you are prepared to register for the Series in full, there is no need to register or pay for this Workshop, just register and pay for the Series instead (see other listing). If you'd like to take this Workshop before committing to the Series, you may register and pre-pay for today only. Your balance for the remaining classes is due before you leave! Your total amount for the Series is the same. So bring your payment, just in case you decide, "Yeah! I wanna keep on drumming!". Tonight's Workshop: $25. Add $5 for in-class drum rental, or BYO appropriate drum.
