COMMUNITY

Music is a powerful uniting force. We harness the power of rhythm to connect individuals and communities in a fun and unique manner.

Community drumming classes

Learn to drum West African rhythms in a fun, community-focussed environment. We run weekly drumming classes across a number of towns in North East Victoria. Drums are provided and no experience is necessary. Our classes are offered at Beginner and Intermediate levels and are suitable for ages 10-100! Members of our drumming community are provided with regular opportunities to perform within the local community at various events.

Online Classes

Our online classes enable anyone, anywhere to join our drumming community. Learning in this format is supported with notation and regular instructional videos. We keep our online classes dynamic through utilising a looping pedal to help the music come alive!

These classes will be kicking off in March 2021! Contact us for more information.

Kids Classes

These classes are tailored for children aged 6-12yrs. Drumming is a great way for children to explore musicality, keep physically active, develop cognitive skills, connect socially and build confidence. Plus, it’s just heaps of fun! Contact us for more information.

Festivals, markets & community events

We can bring the Groove to your event! Our drumming community is keen to share our love for rhythm. We specialise in facilitating community drumming jams, where rhythms are led by our drumming community and everyone is invited to join the fun. Additional drums and shakers are provided to encourage involvement from as many people as possible. We also run tailored, on-demand workshops.
