Drum Class
This high-energy class invites students to experience the joy, discipline, and cultural richness of traditional West African drumming, with a focus on rhythms from Guinea. Students will explore
the sounds and techniques of the Djembe orchestra, including hands-on instruction with djembe drums, dun dun drums, and other traditional percussion instruments.
Led by a highly trained and skillful instructor, this class offers more than just drumming, it’s an opportunity to build confidence, coordination, and musicality in a supportive, community-centered environment. Through call-and-response, rhythm games, and group performance, students develop their listening skills, timing, and teamwork while experiencing the fun and excitement of making music together.
Whether your child is new to drumming or continuing their rhythmic journey, this class helps them grow with discipline, cultural appreciation, and a strong sense of belonging—all while having a great time.
