BEGINNERS

Tuesday and Wednesday

Lessons for beginners take place at the Dancers’ Club in Žižkov on two dates:

The courses will be divided into cycles of ten lessons. Each cycle will focus on a different rhythm. During the first cycle, it is possible to come to any lesson, the first lesson is free and anyone can come to it regardless of their drumming experience. The first cycle will be entirely focused on learning about Djembe and bass drum technique.

The next cycles will assume a basic knowledge of drumming technique. Therefore, anyone who already knows the basic Djembe beats (bass, tone, slap) and the technique of playing the bass drums (open and closed beats, playing the bell) can participate in these cycles. However, the courses will still be aimed at beginner drummers. If you would like to join a follow-up series and do not yet have the knowledge of playing technique, it is possible to arrange a private lesson or attend one of the Djembe Fundamentals workshops that will be announced throughout the year.

The price is:

  • Tuesday courses – 300 CZK per individual lesson or 250 CZK if you prepay for all ten lessons in the cycle.
  • Wednesday courses – 250 CZK per individual lesson or 200 CZK if you subscribe to all ten lessons of the cycle.

If you do not use the prepaid lessons, you can transfer only two lessons to the next cycle.

Intermediate

Thursday

Classes are held every Thursday from 19:00 to 20:30 at Žižkov Dancers’ Club. The first class will take place on September 7, 2023, here is the event on Facebook.

The courses will be divided into cycles of ten lessons. Each cycle will focus on a different rhythm.

The course is suitable for drummers who already have a good knowledge of drumming technique – basic Djembe beats (bass, tone, slap) and bass drum technique (open and closed beats, playing the bell, triplet). Courses will focus in more detail on more complex African rhythms, soloing technique, and other topics.

The price is 300 CZK for a single lesson or 250 CZK if you prepay for all ten lessons in the series. Only two lessons can be transferred to the next cycle if the prepaid lessons are not used.
