ive seen several examples of djembe teaching in schools from a variety of players of different levels. some of my observations are that if your hands hurt when you play ,you will teach that. if your understanding of the music is loose, kids get bored. if your timing is not clean, they dont get it/dont believe your teaching truth.playing softly and not doing rolls for a while gives a good example of control. those who ive observed teach slow clean songs with focus on pulse, have first time classes playing nicer to me than most dance classes. lovin yall jamsa

"Healing" power of drums

Life is Rhythm. Drumming can therefore have much healing value because it gets the body moving in more dynamic Rhythms.
This is not some voodoo magic .But a healthy physical movement that can be understood with reason & logic.Music/drumming is in fact simply the control of sound,either using the control of your hands to beat a drum/play a instrument, or using a synthesiser/computer to control the sound . Timing = control.

People do many kinds of movements in order to feel healthier/ healed .If you break down the body's movements to what is actually happening they all have the same quality's.

Jogging,walking,swimming,sports etc.You eat physical food in order for your body to produce fuel/energy so you can be active. As soon as you move you are producing a force,this force is vibration, which is a transfer of energy from physical matter to physical matter .
Drumming & dancing are the most harmonic way you can move your body.You hear the music/Rhythm, & interpret this beat, using your mind to control your body,Dancing . Every step is a vibration.

With drumming your producing the vibration with your hands .With dancing your producing vibration with all your body.These are simply the most healthiest ways to 'move' provided they are done with balance .

Imagine something moving,anything!.Now give it some repetition , a pattern . what you are imagining is Rhythm .In fact every thing you do is Rhythm,your thoughts,your heartbeats,breaths,your entire biological system is a rhythmical system .

Mainstream medical science has not yet put all the Jigsaw peace's together,it's still at the chemical stage,DNA stage . which are merely more physical patterns produced by rhythms .

Life is infinite and to understand this you have to feel it.

Feel the Rhythms

The human Body is designed to be constantly 'healing' it's self.

Amplify this process with more Rhythm

Life is an existence.You and me are Alive,that is a fact.Everyone is alive because of this same fact!. . You can believe/imagine creationism & hope a God will show you the way.You can learn 'mainstream' scientific evolution & believe your simply a series of chemical chance's .

Or you can Dance & play the drums & let your own self show you what your made of ' Vibration - Rhythm - moving matter with infinite possibilities '
