weekly beginners classes in African percussion focus on drumming together in a group environment and learning African polyrhythms. We play rhythms from Ghana,
Gambia, Nigeria, Zimbabwae, Morocco, Haiti and more! Rhythms vary from lively festival pieces to ceremonial trance rhythms. Each class is a jouney to a new and magical location. We also look at piecing together
simple songs and chants from all over the world. Warm-up includes body percussion, movement, meditation and relaxation techniques.A variety of drums and percussion instruments are provided. Lots of fun for
everyone...!!!
