This class will meet at Waldorf School of Louisville - 3110 Rock Creek Dr, Louisville, KY 40207
Ghana (Ga) Drum Ensemble continues an understanding of West African music, focusing on Ghanaian drumming. Students will learn the basics of African rhythm, its structure, and how different parts come together to create a polyrhythmic tapestry through repeating simple patterns. We will learn drum parts for five rhythms and discuss music's social and cultural significance in Ghana. I draw on stories from my African music teachers and my studies in Africa.
Prerequisite: at least two previous drumming classes or instructor permission.
This is an adult class open to students aged 13 and up. Younger students with musical experience may be considered. Questions? please reach out! angela@louisvillefolkschool.org
