Description
Drumming is energy and joy, a perfect way to start or to finish the day! Join us for this fun and interactive course, designed to introduce you to the fantastic world of rhythm, drumming and percussion.
During the 6 weeks, you will learn the fundamentals of hand drumming, drumming techniques and rhythmic phrasing. We will explore traditional and popular rhythms from around the world, and we’ll develop our group interaction and listening skills through engaging and fun rhythm exercises and activities.
The course builds on group dynamics and team work, and it focuses on listening and interaction skills, fundamental elements for playing music together! Drumming and percussion is an essential part of traditional and folkloric music in many cultures throughout the world. Whether we drum with our hands or with sticks, or we use our body or day to day objects, rhythm brings us together in a group, where we all play an important part!

What our students say!
“I can highly recommend the beginner’s Drumming course! Alan is so patient and introduces topics slowly but at the same time I felt we were being introduced to lots of new concepts every week. I really had no idea how much I would learn and I’m glad I did the course.” Mary Fitzgerald
“Excellent course, would highly recommend. Alan was a really great teacher, patient and clear. As a complete beginner I found this course fun and informative. Can’t wait to build on the skills learned!” by Edel
