Global Percussion Training — For All Levels
Experience the joy of drumming with global percussion instruments and add magic to your musical journeys. Even more powerful when shared.
It's funny how rhythms seemed to simply fall into my lap. And the more I drum, the more I love it.
It began playfully in Bali, with a simple cajon. Yet, life soon led me to drum in sacred ceremonies and support world-class artists on stage. I didn't consider myself a drummer, but drummers themselves began asking me to teach the intricate Afro-Brazilian rhythms I'd intuitively explored for my "Brazilian Spirit" concerts.
Later, in Europe, I found myself holding ceremonial space for hours with only drum and voice, intimately connecting with the djembe and congas.
This journey culminated in a month-long immersion in Brazil, deepening my understanding of rich Afro-Brazilian traditions like Candomblé, Umbanda, and Maracatu.
This training is my offering of all I've learned about the powerful, useful, beautiful, and magical rhythms that can truly make ceremonial music of all kinds come alive. It's a distillation of years of joyful, unplanned immersion, designed to help you discover the incredible power of rhythm — and of yourself.
The Rhythm Adventure invites you to connect with something timeless — the pulse that moves nature, music, and your own body. Rhythm is not just sound — it’s a path to presence, vitality, and creative power.
Inside, you’ll explore a vibrant mix of Afro-Brazilian, African, Latin, and other world grooves — taught in a grounded, joyful way that builds real skills and inner confidence. You’ll expand your coordination, strengthen your musical intuition, and infuse all your instruments with new life.
It’s a practical journey into feeling, flow, and embodiment. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned musician, you’ll find rhythm becoming a steady companion: energizing, liberating, and deeply fun.
This is our sacred invitation to discover what's possible when rhythm awakens your whole being.
