Giving World Percussion organizes a number of workshops throughout the year in addition to the numerous drum circles. We have been blessed with guest workshop leaders from around the world. Participants can rest assured that each teacher, master percussionist, facilitator, dancer, etc. Every leader shares the principles of community, experiential-supported learning, and a love of the power of music.
A few traditional instructors, here are a few of our friends in the area: Thobos Lubamba (Congo), Jose Miguel Rosa (Puerto Rico), Taiwo Duval (Legendary World Percussionist).
