Tahya demonstrates the percussion instrument known as the systrum and offers a PowerPoint (PPT) presentation with images of sculpture, bas reliefs, tomb paintings and papyri depicting the Ancient Egyptian Goddess Hathor, Her musician-priestesses, and powerful queens whom we remember for their inspiration.
This presentation includes 90+ images and is designed to introduce you to the systrum and remember women who used it ~ women whose confidence, beauty and prominent role in society can inspire us today!
In addition to making the 21st Century Ceremonial Systrum™ instrument available to you, Tahya is poised to present its rich and magnificent story steeped in antiquity.

How special it is to have someone who identifies with ancient history, music and dance bringing it to life for us… Inspiration abounds (including) the beautiful poetry and dedications shared. You are well informed and deliver a polished and professional presentation, and I am very impressed to witness your continuation on this path with such beauty, grace, heart and soul. Thank you!!
