African Drumming
Beginners Welcome. | Drums Provided
First session free but you need to register so there are enough drums.
Freshly back from their tour of New Zealand, come and share some of the gems gathered from Nathan’s time studying with the Griots (traditional holders of musical knowledge) in Africa.
This course will also feature some special segments from guest teacher William Dinwoodie, a local player with a lifetime of learning, and over a year spent in Africa learning with the masters.
You will start with the very basics, and over the 6 weeks, build to playing as a full African percussion ensemble in a fun, social, supportive environment. Drums are supplied.
Benefits of hand drumming include
Reducing stress and boosting the immune system
Producing deeper self-awareness by inducing synchronous brain activity and promoting alpha waves
Drumming helps to release negative feelings and emotional trauma
Helps us to connect with self and others
Helps us connect to the natural rhythms all around us
Grounds us in the present moment
Helps us to reach a state of self-realization
Helps us to have fun!
