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.
*If you would like to join this class, the April 13 class was recorded and is available for viewing thru April 23 giving you time to review, take notes, practice and join us on May 11
Beginners-Intermediate welcome. Rhythms vary from class-to-class with various tempos explored within each lesson.
Dive into frame drumming technique and rhythms that are also applicable to Egyptian tambourine known as riqq, finger cymbals and/or Systrum ~ as inspired by Glen Velez‘s Handance method and the pedagogy of frame drummer, teacher, and drum historian Layne Redmond.
