A couple of months ago, my senior center brought in a teacher of African Drumming, so I took the six Friday course, and loved it. He is back for four weeks now in October, and I can’t wait.
My daughter came and recorded the last session he gave so that I could practice at home. She said that I was the best one there, but, after all, many of the folks who were drumming barely had the strength to get a sound out of their drums, and their sense of the African rhythms was as weak as their hands.
I think my experience ballroom dancing helped a great deal to hone my sense of rhythm and my ability to improvise.
This new series starts this Friday, and I am psyched. I even made a t-shirt with an image with djembe drums.
Check out Aimee Gelinas and Gaia Roots. She trained in West Africa and Cuba and her soul passion is African drumming, and nature.

Thanks. I will check them out. The problem is I don’t drive very far these days, and certainly not at night. But I’ll see what their schedule is.
I believe Tamarack Hollow is performing at the Longmeadow Senior Center this month and I intend to go.
