In these courses you will learn to play the most popular West African drums: djembe and dundun. We teach traditional rhythms from Guinea, Mali, Senegal and Burkina Faso which constitute the essence of musical culture in their countries of origin. In our classes, you will also learn some elements of contemporary drum and percussion music – the fruit of the evolution of West African musical tradition lasting for centuries.

Monday courses are dedicated to selected West African rhythms that are currently best known and most popular among djembe students in Europe. These rhythms form the alphabet of djembe music education. The knowledge of djembe accompaniments, arrangements and dundun parts will enable you to play together with other people from Poland and Europe. These courses will also prepare you to perform in an ensemble, and those of you who have already studied djembe music will find an opportunity to refresh and consolidate their knowledge.

The rhythms we will be teaching in the near future are: Sorsornet, Macru, Yankadi, Djole, Soko.

We teach traditional Cuban technique of conga drumming. Based on relatively easy rhythms from all over the world, steadily developed technique will eventually let you move on to more advanced and difficult Cuban repertoire. What is also important is to understand how the conga parts interact with other instruments in a Latin percussion ensemble. That is why in our classes you will also find such instruments as clave, guiro, bongo drums, bata, timbales or maracas. You will learn about the incredibly rich musical culture of Latin America by playing some of its styles, such as: merengue, "salsa" (son, bolero, guaracha, songo, pilon, mozambique), bomba, plena, comparsa/conga, rumba, toques de bata.

These courses will familiarize you with the instruments of Brazilian street samba, such as: surdo, caixa, agogo or chocallo. Apart from traditional Brazilian rhythms, we also introduce a variety of rhythms from other parts of the world. The rhythmic parts played together in perfect time deliver a powerful musical impact and release great amounts of energy. Basic forms combined with frequent unison breaks develop your sense of rhythm, precision, and group work.
