Would you like to learn the art of the frame drum? In a world full of rushing, disconnection, and chaos, the frame drum – the world’s oldest instrument – can be an amazing antidote. This class will soothe your nervous system, shift you into a more connected way of being, and strengthen your own inner rhythm. Frame drumming together creates a sense of community! This class is an introduction to the upright style of the frame drum, the most ancient way of playing the drum. No musical experience is required. Expect to learn the basic strokes and a couple of rhythms to play.

Notes:

Instructor will have frame drums available for use during the class; these can be purchased directly if interested.
Fee: $34.00
