Details

Heart and Soul Drum Academy is an educational non-profit organization in the Rondo Community of St Paul, Minnesota offering Djembe hand drum classes to youth ages 3-17. We use the Djembe hand drum to teach them about communication as well as musical creativity. Providing community Djembe classes in drum circles is a way to help youth focus on a task; listen to what others contribute to the drum circle; and work together for one purpose – a song. Some drummers are the steady bass beat, others play the various ranges of tone, and the rhythmic makers accent the beats by slapping the drum, to bring the bass, tone and slap together for a syncopated rhythm of harmonies. Heart – Encouraging Youth; Soul – Instilling Values; Drum – Rhythms to the Beat of Life.
