Class Description
Basic Skills - Ian Dickau
This course was created for the
beginner drummer in mind, no
experience necessary. We focus
our attention on djembe tech-
nique and the sounds that can be
created from the drum. Come
and learn proper posture, simple
rhythms, and a Nigerian drum
language. During this 8 weeks
we move at a pace that ensures
confidence when drumming in a
circle, thus creating a firm foun-
dation for movement into
Djembe 1. All drums supplied
during class time.
Djembe 1 - Ian Dickau
This course is the natural step-
ping stone from “Basic Skills”.
Using the Nigerian drum lan-
guage we are able to add to our
rhythmic library as we learn of
down beat, up beat and working
in 4/4 time. Other instruments
from West Africa such as Dun-
dun and Shekere are introduced
into this course.
Class Description
Djembe 2 - Andie Shaffer/
Trudy Hipwell
This course is for the drummer
who is looking for the chal-
lenge of an increased rhythm
library as well as delving into
more 6/8 rhythms, multi dun-
dun parts and song. Bells and
shekeres are incorporated into
this class to give you the feel of
the West African Village.
Djembe 3/4 -Trudy Hipwell
Participants will learn drum en-
semble rhythms with traditional
West African songs, as well as
master drum cues that commu-
nicate with the drummers to
make transitions that can also
be incorporated with dance ac-
companiment.
Class Description
Performance 1 - Andie Shaffer/
Quinn Davis
In this course learn traditional
West African drum rhythms and
how they can be incorporated
into a Drum Ensemble, which
usually consists of 3 support
drum patterns and the master
drum solo. Participants will learn
to create solos for ensemble as
well as how to play the master
drum cues. Throughout the year
there are numerous community
performance opportunities.
