Each week, participants will learn traditional rhythms from around the world – the 12-week semester will encompass learning about cultural backgrounds, rhythmic vocabulary, improvisation and self-expression with a community of diverse peoples. In other words, an all out jam! Hand drums such as djembe, conga, or doumbec/darbuka are recommended – info on how to purchase drums at a discount will be available. Minimum group(s) of 6 required.
