**NEW** - Now Offering Djembe and Conga Lessons

In the last few years I have delved into hand drumming, specifically with Afro-Cuban congas and African djembe. I am now able to offer lessons on both, including traditional and popular Afro-Cuban rhythms for Conga.

My Approach To One-On-One Lessons

I believe anyone can learn to be rhythmic and play drums in one form or another. For drum set, I provide a balanced approach of understanding technique and groove, with emphasis on playing by ear and feeling the beat. I use a mixture of my own material and other books, and playing along to music, and work together with each student to develop their skill, style, and confidence.

I also teach basic hand drumming technique, usually on a djembe or similar type of drum. On your own, hand drumming can be meditative and healing, providing a path into a peaceful realm away from hectic life. If you are interested in tapping into your inner drummer, please get in touch.
