African Drums



Djembe Drum Lessons in a small group

The Djembe is a traditional drum from West Africa known for its expressive sound and portability, making it a favorite in drum circles. Playing the Djembe helps develop a strong sense of rhythm, which is the foundation of all music. It also enhances coordination, pattern recognition, memory, and teamwork.

Above all drumming is fun, social and boosts confidence.

The skills learned on the Djembe are easily transferable to other hand drums, such as the Darbuka and Congas.

Djembe Drums
Djembe drums are perfect for group lessons and for learning to read music rhythms.
I teach them alongside other percussion instruments, including banana bells, shakers, and tambourines, to create a well-rounded, engaging experience.


I give small group or individual lessons at my studio in Melville, conveniently located with easy access from Randburg and the Johannesburg CBD. I can also give lessons online.
