For beginners to experienced musicians, this lightly facilitated, music & percussion circle will give you the opportunity to practice, participate in peer-to-peer learning, expand your repertoire and, if you're really keen, performance!

The circle is open to anyone interested in exploring Arabic music & percussion using hand drums, riqq, finger cymbals and other percussive instruments. Musicians on acoustic instruments are also welcome - no electronic instruments please!
WHAT DO SESSIONS LOOK LIKE?

We begin with basic Middle-Eastern rhythm patterns and move on from there through skill sharing and practice, to add fills and flourishes. We also work on specific musical pieces to play for dancers.

This is not a class, but a lightly facilitated circle giving you the opportunity to practice with others, gain confidence in your abilities and expand on your knowledge through peer-to-peer learning. There will be printed copies of rhythm patterns and melody provided, but the aim is to work ‘hands-on’. Whilst this is a casual circle, there are opportunities to perform as an ensemble at our Annual Showcase, and to join our performance troupe, Banat Amar.

Absolute beginners are welcome.
WHAT WILL I NEED TO BRING?

If you have your own percussive instrument, please bring it along. This can include drums, hand drums, finger cymbals, riqq, tambourine, your hands! :) If you need to borrow an instrument, please let us know, as there are limited numbers available.
