Ikaya Drum is offering a unique product in Romania: workshops of drum therapy. Drumming is a great way to relax, to have fun and to connect with others.

The aim of Ikhaya Drum is to use rhythm-based events to bring people together and to create a positive outlet for creativity, energy and self-expression. Drumming is a very accessible activity and even a group of beginners can create an up-lifting rhythm in a matter of minutes. One of our basic needs as human beings is to be heard and connect with others; participating in a drum circle is a perfect way to achieve this. In a drum circle it doesn’t matter what age, race or religion you are, everybody communicates using the language of rhythm. When a group of people are drumming together, even if they’ve never met before, barriers are broken down and differences transcended.

These drumming workshops provided by Ikhaya Drum work around the theme of raising one's vibration by pounding away at a djembe or a variety of different African drums.  The facilitators of these workshops will guide you in the basics of drumming – and then as a group you will make a unified sound. Using African Djembes and handheld percussion, students of all ages and standards can explore spectacular African styles of drumming, to perform a variety of styles and rhythms. Working in groups the students can develop team skills, musical awareness, and history of rhythm, concentration skills and focus.

The workshops are organized every Friday from 18,30 - 20 pm in Tandarica Theatre, Studio Hall. The standard format is as follows:

• The studio comfortably accommodate groups/classes of 30+ students

• Workshop duration 90 minutes

• Age range - 8 years upwards

• The workshops are energetic, fun and informative.
