You will learn and practice the primary TONES played on the Djembe and develop precise TEMPO whilst learning to make the drum speak.

You will also learn African Rhythms and experience Rhythm and Melodie, learning introduction and rhythm variation patterns arrangements with Graeme Goodwin. After a good foundation in Tempo, Technique and Rhythm has been established, Graeme will guide you into playing Melodies and solo phrases.
