TTMDA Chicago Djembe classes are fun and engaging class taught by M. Taylor, Senior Instructor at the Tam Tam Mandingue Djembe Academy School of Djembe (the djembe is a West African hand drum). Students learn proper hand technique and timing in the context of learning traditional djembe rhythms. A djembe specialist since 1994, Taylor has been put on a mission by his Master Drummer teachers to be a “messenger of tradition”, so all lessons include the oral history of the rhythms (history, purpose, ethnic group, location), maps are used in discussions/explanations. These classes also include dunun lessons (cylindrical bass drums); dununs provided. Djembe’s may be rented if necessary, $5/day pair directly to Taylor. Experience not necessarily necessary!tuition: $20/class
(cash preferred, negotiable for folks in financial hardship or if you have youth older than 7yrs)
