Hand Drumming for Beginners - African style

For thousands of years the drum has provided people with a powerful basic tool to communicate, express themselves, form community and profoundly integrate the senses. 

This course will give you all the tools you'll need to really enjoy yourself playing your drum.  Our introduction to the rhythms of Brazil, Cuba, Guinea, Haiti, Mali, Senegal and Trinidad will allow us to experience the healing power of the drum and express our own voice.
