Frame Drum School

INTERMEDIATE Frame Drum Class:Wednesdays at 12:30pm (EDT/New York Time)
This relaxed, hands-on frame drum class is all about playing, experimenting, and having fun together. We’ll move between Hand Held and Lap Style playing, using easy call-and-response sessions, effective technique exercises, and creative rhythms to build your skills step by step. You’ll get to explore Split Hand Technique, try out Tehais, work with simple ratio patterns, and dive into engaging compositions, all in an encouraging, interactive group setting. 

We meet weekly online via Zoom

FEES:
One-hour Regular Classes are $45
Half-hour Techniques Classes are $25
Regular and Techniques classes rotate every other week.

RIQ Class:

Every other at Monday 12:30pm (EDT/New York time)

Join this welcoming Riq class, meeting for one hour every other week, and build confidence step by step as you explore this beautiful instrument. We’ll focus on moving freely around the Riq, learning both traditional Middle Eastern and modern playing approaches in a relaxed, supportive setting. By the end, you’ll feel comfortable playing core grooves and adding your own tasteful embellishments around the rhythms.

One-hour Classes are $45

Why take these classes?
This is a chance to meet other Frame Drummers, create a community with them, and share ideas and passions. The classes are interactive so you can ask questions about technique, hand position, drum suggestions, etc.  My small group classes have a limited number of students which allows personal attention to be given to all.
