Workshop Overview

In principle, the Djembe (African drum) has three tones. During the first phase of this workshop students will be taught to produce the tones correctly. Once this has been mastered, different rhythms can be learnt. Other instruments will then be added and complex beats and sounds formed.  

Student will be supplied with Djembes and other instruments. This will include Shakers - this instrument is shaken and principally used as a rhythm instrument.

Cow Bells are also supplied - The instrument consists of two metal cones. The clapper-less bells are struck rhythmically with a stick.
