Community African Drumming (Age 12+)

January 9 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

January 9 – March 12: Tuesdays from 6:00 – 7:00 pm

Join this fun group and explore the drumming rhythms of traditional West African music every Tuesday! Learn how to play the djembe (a goblet-shaped drum played with bare hands) or refine your djembe skills in this class. Drums are provided. All skill levels are welcome in this lively community class.

Instructor: Celine Burke

Celine Burke holds a Bachelor of Music degree with a focus in percussion performance and a minor in psychology from Eastern Oregon University.  She was first introduced to African drumming in an EOU class led by John McKinnon and Luke McKern in 2007, and she has been hooked ever since.  The dynamic rhythms, welcoming atmosphere, and fun people in the Community African Drumming group make it the favorite part of her week.
