One-on-one sessions allow for specialised and targeted coaching. Whether you have an area of your playing you’d like to focus on or you just want to up your game and need direction, we’ll tailor a session for you.

Standard session times are available between 10am and 4pm on weekdays, however out of hours sessions (weeknights & weekends) can be arranged, depending on availability. Call us today to chat about what we can offer and to make a booking
Four Pack
The Four Pack is designed to maximize your learning
Aimed at ironing out those ongoing technique and musical understandings, and personally tailored to your needs and style, these four consecutive sessions will really accelerate your playing – great if you need to play catch up with a 6 week cycle that you’ve missed or to take your playing to the next level.
In the first session we discuss where your playing is currently at, what you’d like to achieve, and the different methods we can employ to get you there. From there on we get to the business of developing your playing! Expect to be pushed, challenged and rewarded.
These lessons are suitable for all levels, and while primarily aimed at djembe and dunun training, there are many other aspects to your musicality which we can focus on including:
- Timing & strengthening your inner metronome
- Understanding 4/4 and 12/8 more deeply
- Getting your feet tapping in time, growing your hand’s independence, and other multi-tasking musical challenges
- Tapping into your own inner creativity
We recommend that the sessions be taken close together to facilitate fast development – ideally once a week or fortnight.
