Rhythm Culture
School in Sunshine Coast

Rhythm Culture takes you on an exciting journey through rhythm, movement and sound. What great fun!" Denise Curry - Red Faery Hair, Woodford. I bought my djembe recently off Nathaniel and he helped me in every way possible. Had a blast performing at our Christmas St Carnival after only drumming for 6wks!. A very patient, tolerant & understanding teacher and great with the kids too! Love it so much that now four of my clients attend the 10 wk course. Classes will be educational and challenging and require only yourself and a smile! On completion of each term students will have the opportunity to perform at local Community Jams! "After my drummimg lessons with Nathaniel I'm left 'buzzing' all the way home. Each class will focus on a variety of different traditional West African rhythms and students will have the opportunity to play a selection of West African instruments including dundun, breaks, song and accompaniments. From beginner to advanced to ensemble and solo performance. Rhythm Culture caters for all levels in West African Percussion. All participants of the workshop will experience a great physical and emotional release that will be the perfect icebreaker for your event!.
