Music of Africa

African traditional music has long maintained its deep, rich roots as well as its melodies, rhythms, and the unique storehouse of knowledge maintained by those who continue to carry on its traditions.

We offer individual and group music classes for all ages and levels. Also, we sometimes hold cultural events which combine interaction with the artists and musical performances.

Learn to play an instrument based on an oral tradition to:

  • Gain experience with a specific culture
  • Train your memory
  • Promote manual and intellectual learning
  • Effectively develop the ear and musical skills
