In this six week course, we will learn to play all parts of a West Afican Rhythm on Djembe drum, bass drums, and percussion instruments, creating multiple polyrhythmic layers.
Each session establishes the steps to the next one, making six consecutive sessions a mandate.
Come to class with a child's heart, laugh, play, and enjoy being in a rhythm community.
