The ‘Easy Grooves’ Class

This class is suitable for beginners and as a warm up for more experienced players. In this session we explore the sounds on the djembe drum starting with the ‘bass’ (middle of the drum), the ‘tone’ (side of the drum) and finally ‘slap’. After some initial work on technique, we explore djembe rhythms from Guinea Conakry, Senegal and Mali in West Africa. There is a common and healthy mix of abilities in the Easy Grooves Class. We plan the material for Easy Grooves so there is something for everyone’s level - easy, accessible parts for complete beginners and more challenging parts for experienced players.
