This beginning class introduces basic hand techniques, hand patterns, and traditional rhythm composition on the West African djembe drum. Students will learn the “gon go do” drum scale, drum circle etiquette, drum selection criteria, and basic tuning method and maintenance. This class will help students gain chops and build confidence to play their djembes in drum circles anywhere!
