We have classes for every level.
Whether you’ve never played an instrument before, or you’re already active in the scene, we have a drum class for you.
Just about anyone can learn to play the djembe. The learning curve is somewhat different to other instruments – it’s easy to pick up but difficult to master! All of our students receive a student card which provides discount rates on a range of our products.
Our 6-week series cover a full West African rhythmic arrangement, including support djembe parts, solos, breaks and calls. We focus on rhythms from the ancient/traditional djembe nations (Mali, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso & Senegal), but delve into other groves from Ghana on occasions.
Our lead facilitator is supported by a Dun (bass drum) player, so you’ll get the full polyrhythmic experience, which helps to develop your auditory skills too.
Both Beginners and Intermediate levels work on technique and dexterity training to improve your hand independence, coordination and drumming stamina.
If you haven’t had any formal lessons before, we recommend starting with Beginners and getting a solid grounding in technique and the arrangement concepts of West African drumming music.
If you are finding that both come naturally and quickly, then you can shift to the Intermediate class after completing one or two 6-week series, following a chat/confirmation from your teacher.
