Es Salaam Aleikum.
I wanted to let you all know that I'm starting a Middle-Eastern drum
school called Tabla Arabía (TA-bla a-ra-BEE-ya), which means "Arabic
Drum." With Tabla Arabía, I hope to create an environment where the
instructor and students can learn from each other.
I'll be offering intermediate-level drum classes on Tuesdays, 5:30 PM
to
6:30 PM, at the Rubaiyat Dance Studio, 25 East Kensington Ave. (1500
South), Salt Lake City. It's in a little strip mall on the north side
of
the road. The cost will be $15 per lesson, or $45 a month. You should
have your own dumbek (Thia has some at her new warehouse) and some
knowledge of basic Middle-Eastern rhythms and techniques.
We’ll cover concepts like playing as part of a group, leading a group,
drumming for dancers, techniques beyond the basic, as well as rhythms
that you may not have encountered before. And we’ll definitely have jam
sessions—in class and at local venues—because I believe that the best
way to learn is by doing. I know that my own progress has always been
most rapid when I had lots of chances to drum with other people.
I hope to give my students opportunities to perform at various
recitals,
including Meeting of the Tribes, Thia’s SpringFest, and Kismet’s Annual
Belly Dance Festival. Most important of all, I want us to have fun.
Contact me via email if you're interested, or just show up on any
Tuesday. (And don't forget to vote on the 7th...)
Drummers, this is a good chance to expand your repertoire, get the
rhythms "into your blood", and practice your solos/improvisation.
Dancers, it's also a good idea for you to at least learn the basics.
It's easy to see how it will improve your finger cymbal techniques, and
it also contributes to your overall knowledge of various rhythms.
I'd like to remind you that Dave Hellon offers drum lessons as well.
His
classes are on Monday nights, and I believe he teaches them at Thia's
studio. (Please correct me if I'm wrong; Dave, can you provide more
details?)
Shukran,
Bryan
