Regular classes/workshops

• Sat morning djembe/dundun
• Sat full-day w/shops

PLEASE NOTE: The Saturday morning West African djembe drumming class is now fully subscribed, so if you have not attended this class beforehand, please contact Nigel to be put on a waitlist. There are other drumming classes available so, if you are interested in drumming right away, please contact Nigel.

West African djembe/dundun classes are currently scheduled to take place throughout 2012 on Saturday mornings (except when full-day workshops are organised). These classes are aimed at both adults and children across the Black Country and Birmingham.

Classes will normally start at 9.45am and go on until 1pm (maybe even 1.30pm) and will cost £4 for adults (£2 for children, that is 17-and-under). The first 30-45 mins is aimed at beginners where there will be some in-depth tuition on technique as well as being able to play rhythms at a slower pace. Beginners are more than welcome to join in with the rest of the class. If you are beyond beginner stage, then aim to arrive around 10.30am.

All classes will be held at Halesowen Athletic & Cycling Club (HACC), Manor Way, Halesowen B62 8RW, UNLESS otherwise specified
