Every Tuesday, 6 PM - 7 PM | June 10th - July 29th 2025
Think of this course as a doorway—not a destination. Whether we focus on Donba or Maraka, you are beginning a longer journey into the heart of 6/8 rhythm. These aren’t rhythms you “master” in a few weeks. Instead, they reveal themselves over time, and this course sets the stage for a deeper, richer relationship with them down the road.
Both Donba and Maraka represent vast musical lineages. You will return to them in future courses, perhaps with more complexity or in new ensemble roles. But it all starts here—with feel, with curiosity, and with a beat that won’t let go.
What to Expect
Learn the full djembe and dunun arrangements for either Donba or Maraka
Develop a deep understanding of 6/8 phrasing and swing
Practice longer solo phrases and internalize rhythmic cycles
Explore rhythm as a tool for grounding, release, and collective joy
Strengthen coordination, creativity, and confidence in ensemble settings
Each class is part technique, part meditation, and part play. We work hard, but we also laugh a lot and leave feeling more alive.
