OPTIONAL ADD-ON: DRUMMING COURSES

WHO CAN TAKE PART
This project is only suitable for those volunteers whose main project is based in Darkuman, Accra.

No previous experience in drumming is required and equipment is provided.  However, volunteers are encouraged to purchase their own drums, which are available at discounted rates.  This will enable you to practice outside of your lessons and therefore progress quickly.   If you’re doing the Advanced Course, you’ll even get the opportunity to purchase a drum that is specifically tailored to you.

PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Lesson times are designed to fit around your main project.  Classes run twice a day: at 7-8am and 6-7.30pm, 7 days per week. 

OPTION 1:  Taster Course: 1 week (5 hours over 5 days) - £25 / $37.50

OPTION 2:  Standard Course: 2 weeks (10 hours over 2 weeks) - £50 / $75

OPTION 3:  Advanced Course:  4 weeks (20 hours, over 4 weeks) - £100 / $150

COURSE CONTENT
Whichever course you choose, you will be taught approximately 2 hours of theory and the remainder of the course will be practical.  Those doing the Advanced Lessons will also be taught how the drums are made.  Classes are taught in an open-air compound and there are normally 1-2 students per class, so you’ll receive valuable one-to-one tuition .
