DRUMMING CLASSES

Weekly drumming classes are held at The Rhythm Hut. The classes incorporates rhythmic exercises, traditional rhythms and making up our own rhythms. Its casual, informative and a lot of fun! We use African Drums, Japanese Drums and Indonesian Drums.

Terms often culminate in class concerts held at community events on the central coast or in our homebase, The Rhythm Hut.

WHY START DRUMMING

Drumming is one of the easiest and enjoyable ways to switch off the mind and get into a relaxed state. As you absorb in drumming you let go of daily pressures that create stress.

Drumming gives your mind a break from work, kids and any of those the other pressing concerns. Practically you learn how to drum, how to play rhythms and make music in a group. You also meet people and enjoy the experience of working in a team of familiar faces.

DRUMMING WORKSHOPS

Rhythm Hunting is an open-ended exploration of Rhythm. Workshops introduce groups to the wonderful world of rhythm. Sessions are ideal for social clubs, corporate teams and for groups in general who would like to add some new life into the mix.

Workshops may be highly structured as for music students or totally experiential and orientated toward enjoyment. Make an enquiry if you have something in mind.
