This is an opportunity for you to start your journey on Middle Eastern Percussion or if you want to progress on your skills. On 2 Saturdays,  2nd November and 7th December we have:

Beginners Frame Drum, Lap Style,  (10:30AM to 12PM) and Beginners Darbuka from 1 to 2:30PM. We will go through the basics of tone, techniques and popular rhythms.  Some body percussion and vocalisation exercises will help you embody beat, tempo, meter and rhythm. 

Intermediate Frame Drum, Lap Style,  (3 to 4:30PM) and Intermediate Darbuka (5 to 6:30PM). We will look at ways of creating your own "sentences" and rhythmic variations, rolls and odd rhythms.

Some drums available, please bring your own if you have one.
