This 3-hour online rhythm workshop is a warm, practical, and inspiring introduction to the world of hand drumming, rhythm, coordination, and group facilitation. Designed for beginner drummers, music facilitators, educators, parents, youth workers, wellness practitioners, community leaders, and anyone wanting to explore rhythm in a deeper and more meaningful way, this workshop offers a supportive space to learn, play, and connect through drumming.
Throughout the workshop, you’ll explore the core foundations of rhythm, including pulse, timing, groove, coordination, listening, and simple hand drumming techniques. We’ll also explore how rhythm can support mindfulness, focus, creativity, confidence, and wellbeing through movement, breathing, and interactive rhythm exercises. Alongside the musical foundations, you’ll learn simple and accessible ways to facilitate engaging drum circles for groups of all ages and abilities — whether in classrooms, community settings, wellness spaces, family gatherings, or personal practice.
This workshop is designed to help you feel more confident with rhythm, more connected to your body and creativity, and more comfortable leading and participating in group rhythm experiences. You’ll gain practical tools, exercises, and facilitation ideas that you can continue using long after the workshop is complete. My approach to teaching rhythm is relaxed, encouraging, and highly experiential, focusing on participation, connection, and enjoyment rather than perfection or performance.
Participants are encouraged to have a hand drum for the workshop if possible, as this will allow you to fully participate in the exercises and activities. All demonstrations will be playing the djembe drum. Any hand drum is welcome — including djembes, frame drums, bongos, congas, cajons, or similar percussion instruments.
