Drum For Joy!

Come for an intensive weekend or join us for the fun filled full week.

“If you can say it, you can play it” … These are the famous
words of Jaqui’s first drum teacher, Babatunde Olatunji, and also the foundation for all of her drum classes.  The Drum For Joy in Ireland program will include classes where you will learn the language of the drum, basic  technique and how to make your drum sing.  Jaqui presents the drum songs in a way that make it fun and easy to learn.  You will learn many rhythms,  breaks, solo techniques and vocal parts throughout the program.  We will also be exploring improvisation with with drums and percussion instruments, found sounds and working with the rhythms of nature in the beautiful environment around us. We will celebrate the coming of autumn, go to local pubs to hear Irish music and create spontaneous music magic together!  No musical experience necessary/ all levels are welcome.  There are a limited number of drums by request … please bring a drum if you can.
