about Ancient Egyptian Rhythmic Instruments

Cymbals, Systrum & Frame Drum

3-class session:  Second Saturdays in Winter 2025  |  11:00 AM EDT*

Jan 11 – – Feb 8 – – March 8

Awaken sacred rhythms within, return to being in rhythm, and step forward in your life with grace and being in sync!  The focus is on welcoming beginners/newcomers to the frame drumming path, introducing the Herstory (the use of percussion instruments primarily played by women in ancient cultures), the basic strokes, and a couple of groovy rhythms that are fun to play so that when the day comes that you’re ready to take a deeper dive, you will be well-equipped with the basics.

**NOTE: Interested but have potential conflict/s with class dates?  Classes are recorded and made available to registrants for ten days following class.

Each class is scheduled to be 45 min and will include application of Systrum &/or Frame Drum, Ancient Egyptian Rhythmic Instruments, to a couple of 2/4 & 4/4 Egyptian rhythms. These rhythms can be hypnotically therapeutic as well as rousingly exciting depending on the tempo at which they are played. Handouts included.
