Hello, hope you all had a great summer time!
I am planning to organise a beg/intermediate frame drum lesson a week as well as a darbuka lesson a week from 27th Sept for 12 weeks.
Monday (frame drum) and Wednesday (darbuka) evenings (6:30-8pm). If you think these days are not good for you
I could try and arrange something for Tuesday eve or Saturday in the mornings (11-12:30 and 1:30- 3pm) also but this last one is still tricky for me.
Fees for each would cost £145 for the whole 12 weeks if you pay it up front or £90 or 6 weeks.
Lessons will include warm ups and body percussion to enhance body awareness, sense of timing, rhythm and co-ordination. We will also listen to lots of
Middle Eastern and Balkan music and eventually try to learn to play the rhythms of some tunes. Lots of calls and response in group activities and improvisation are going to be encouraged through out the sessions.
You would need to bring your own instrument. If you don’t have it let me know and we arrange something for you. I only have a limited
amount of drums. If you want to learn to play the Riq (Arabic tambourine), you would have to find one online cos it’s very difficult to find it in a shop in London.
Hope to hear from you soon so i can have a better notion of who can come and when, etc,
Bests,
Elizabeth
