Creative Hand Drumming Workshops
with Stefan Freedman
Everyone can drum but most of us don’t. Look at the tales we tell ourselves: no rhythm, hated music lessons, feel embarrassed...
But syncopated rhythms are already part of our lives. We use them every day in our speech patterns!
If you’d like to try out hand drumming, you will first learn the basics:
Getting different sounds from your drum
Four all–purpose rhythms
Ad–libbing and improvising
Drumming to accompany singing.
Stefan’s encouraging approach will give everyone new skills and confidence. You’ll have a great time while learning.
How do I hold a drum and get different sounds?
Are there some easy tricks that sound great?
Can I drum, free-style without thinking?
How do I drum to accompany a song?
Can I hold my beat in a group playing different rhythms?
Learn all this, meet people, and have a fantastic time ...
Please bring your drum if you have one – use one of our drums if you don’t.
