Studies have show that hand drumming has many Benefits including: releases endorphins, improves cognitive function (uses both hemispheres of the brain) induces deep relaxation, helps control chronic pain, boosts your immune system, creates a sense of connectedness, aligns your body and mind with the natural world, provides a way to access a higher power (spirituality), releasing negative emotions, and allows for personal transformation (self expression).
This class will be focused on the Djembe and ashiko. I will be teaching rhythms (and accompaniments), techniques on how to perform the three main sounds (also expert level sounds) and solos. After the First hour we transition into a more freestyle drum circle.
This will be donation based so give as much as you want (no one will ever be turned away for lack of funds).
Also there will be a few extra drums if you do not have one (first come first serve)
