Passport Series: Our intensive course with Robin “Bountourabi” Leftwich
Designed to meet the demands we’ve been hearing from you! The course will include rhythms, technique, playing ballet dununs, meter madness, traditional and improvisational solos, and more. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn from Robin. She is a fun and dynamic instructor who shares a wealth of information about the music, culture, and art of West Africa in her classes.
We accept cash, check, and credit cards.
Although we encourage you to take each workshop in succession for the best learning experience, it is not required.
Join us for our Passport Series
Introduction and Foundational Rhythms, with some review from our last class — Performance
Asheville: Saturday, February 25th from 9am-4pm, with a break for lunch. Open to all skill levels. Note: The room we use has very good ventilation and is big enough for social distancing. COVID-19 vaccinations are recommended as are face masks while inside. If you’d like to bring your lunch, there are picnic tables on the school grounds. If there is interest, we can order food to be delivered so we won’t have to navigate the lunchtime rush hour in West Asheville.
You will need your djembe and dununs for this class.
The in-person classes are $100 each or $50 if you’ve taken the class before. Payment can be made using PayPal to Rachel@happybeatdrumming.com or by using the BUY NOW button.*
