African drum classes

I offer one-to-one and group tuition in music (general, notation and theory) and especially West African Drumming, notably djembe, dun duns, percussion and song. I have a number of spare drums you can borrow. Tibetan Singing Bowls are another speciality.

Bedford Djembe Group

My Bedford class meets on Tuesday nights at The Clophill Centre, and I'm a guest teacher most Monday nights (except school holidays) in Milton Keynes. My Hertfordshire group will be starting soon, tbc.

I may also travel to Luton, Stevenage, Cambridge, Northampton or further afield if demand is high enough. If you'd like me to hold a drumming group in your area, either for a regular class or a one-off event (perhaps a fun birthday or Christmas party?), then please contact me to discuss your needs. I hope to soon be running another After School Club for KS2-age children.

"Thanks for being an awesome djembe teacher! We may not be the best, and our timing is all adrift, but you have the knack of making us feel comfortable with what we are doing - I would have done a runner long ago!! Can't wait for the New Year's lessons..." - Jan & Mike

Past groups

For many years I previously led another drumming circle in Hertfordshire called Secret Bass (seen here), and also taught evening classes at the University of Hertfordshire. In early 2013 I'm starting up a new group - stay tuned for news...
