We teach you how to play drums from scratch, everyone, regardless of age, according to the principle:
“If your heart is beating, you are a drummer. Let the drum connect your heart with your hands, let your hands learn to dance. ” Wadada
The second rule is: “Play through learning and learning through play”.
The third rule is: “You are the rhythm”.
– Are you interested in the culture of Africa, the Caribbean and the Middle East?
– Do you come alive to the sound of drums?
– Do you want to communicate your thoughts and feelings in a non-verbal way?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, the drum adventure is around the corner. We welcome everyone who would like to start their adventure with drums as well as those who already play a little.
With us you will learn traditional rhythms, playing techniques for specific instruments, building improvisation, vocalizing percussion phrases and the basics of arrangement. The idea of workshops and music-dance meetings is to create a community modeled on ancient cultures, where the rhythm unites all people in the tribe, while allowing for free expression of emotions and getting rid of tensions.
We invite musicians, dancers and slow and fast listeners.
The repertoire of the workshops includes traditional rhythms:
✔ West African
✔ Middle Eastern
✔ Brazilian
✔ Afrocuban
Playing drums allows you to:
✔ overcoming communication barriers
✔ getting rid of tension and stress
✔ improving manual dexterity and motor coordination
✔ increased attention divisibility, memory and creativity
✔ building positive relationships with the group
