Trance-Fusion Drumming w/ Julia "Spoon" Zay
1 Hr. Class
$10 Per Session for 8 Weeks
You may know a Baladi and a Maqsum but how about a Syrto or Pizzica? Want to take a class that opens you up to a variety of other fun and interesting rhythms beyond the same-old-same-old? How about a chance to learn all the old familiar favorites and then some! Trance-Fusion is a special in-depth journey into the rhythms and music of the Mediterranean with a special emphasis on relaxing into the rhythm so that it flows naturally. Students will learn a variety of traditional rhythms as well as how to safely improvise. This class will be tailored to the experience level of the students to create an optimal learning environment. Bring whatever kind of drum you want and we'll show you how to play it. We have a small number of drums available to lend during the class so no matter what you can learn if you want to. This is much more than your average drum class.
