Join one of the planet’s most sought-after teachers of hand drumming, Ubaka Hill, for a fun and empowering exploration of the art and spirit of drumming that will help foster our ability and authentic self-expression. We will learn complete drum songs rooted in various cultural and contemporary rhythmic styles and patterns, and focus on developing and improving our playing techniques, tonal definition, clarity and rhythmic ability.
Come widen your vocabulary of rhythm, pulse, time and tone, and learn about correct breathing, playing posture, concentration, warm-up exercises, drum etiquette, acquiring a drum, care of your hands, drum maintenance and tuning. Experience the wonderfully unifying, energizing and revitalizing effects of individual and group/ensemble playing, improvising and singing.
Note: This workshop, geared to beginner and intermediate levels, is open to men and women. All and drums and percussion instruments welcome. Please bring a tape recorder and blank tapes.
