BEGINNERS
Lessons for beginners take place at the Dancers’ Club in Žižkov on two dates:
- Every Tuesday 5:30pm to 7:00pm. The first class will be held on 12 September 2022, here is the event on Facebook.
- Every Wednesday 5:30pm to 6:30pm. The first class will be held on 20 September 2022, here is the event on Facebook.
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.
