Drumming Workshop with Helen Bond - August (DR21B-43)

Sunday,  August 21

12:00-3:00 pm

Instructor: Helen Bond

IDPH and CDC guidelines about face masks will be observed.

Helen will share with everyone the great joy of traditional hand drumming from Guinea, West Africa. Come be a part of this joyful group where we come together as a small village and enjoy the uplifting beauty of the traditional hand drumming ensemble. You will learn basic rhythms on dunun drums and the djembe accompaniment parts. You’ll also learn the origins of each rhythm, receive expert instruction on all instruments in the traditional djembe orchestra and deepen your understanding of place of music, dance, and song in West African life. Helen is able to work simultaneously with students of all levels — beginners to professional. Bring your own drum if you have one. Limited instruments available to borrow during class.

Must have a minimum of 8 students, so please register by: 8/19
