Students will learn the skills and rhythms necessary to become a djembe "master".  Students will learn numerous different rhythms and skills on the djembe including the sounds played, how to read djembe music, and how to start and stop the music, and traditional Malinke rhythms.

I am a certified music teacher in North Carolina.  I attend music school at the University of North Florida and have my masters degree in educational leadership.  I have been teaching music to people for over 20 years.

I have been playing and teaching West African drumming for over 13 years to people of all ages, children to adults. Every year I teach over 1000 students (5 years old and up) in the school systems as well as hundreds of adults in the community. I have spent these years researching the history behind the rhythms and learning how to play the West African Rhythms.  In these 12 years, I have also held drum circles at my school and community where people learn the basics to African drumming, the history behind the drums, and traditional West African rhythms. It is one of the core units that I teach to my students at school, from 5 years old and up. Currently, I am studying under master drummer Bolokada Conde.

These students and I have performed at parades and other events. Most recently, besides teaching West African drumming at my school, I have held drumming events at numerous schools and other locations in my city where the general public can learn how fun it is to drum!
