DISCOVERING THE MAGIC! A beginner's introductory workshop at DRUMZ with teacher, Sherry Gingras, will take place from 4pm-6pm on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 6th, 2009 at 3700 1/2 Kerbey Lane, in Austin. We will explore the the art of hand drumming, some history, the technique, some drumming rudiments, learn a song and a traditional West African-style rhythm, and also have an opportunity to create an in-the-moment closing rhythm with lots of percussive toys beyond just drums! The communication and listening skills we learn and employ when creating spontaneous music together are the same skills we can use to guide us to fuller, healthier relationships and experiences in our lives! If you have always felt a drummer lived inside just waiting for the right opportunity to come along to give voice to that musician inside, this could be it! Everyone is invited to attend! If you have a heartbeat, you HAVE rhythm! Rhythm is a very deep part of who we are as human beings and our need to find expression of rhythm with others is basic and important. In these workshops we learn ways to honor that need. No previous experience is necessary. Cost: $35. Drums and percussion instruments are provided for your use and are for sale. Please call to reserve your space! 512-453-9090. MC/VISA accepted by phone or you may pay the evening of the event.
I look forward to sharing a rhythm with you soon!
