Get a lesson in Southern African Rhythms with Barry Van Zyl.
here’s the intro
My niche as a musician is rhythm with an African flavor.
The drum is the primary instrument that anyone can play, as an expression of the community.
What I love about African culture is that music and dance is open to everyone. That includes you!
LATEST COURSE
I've taken all my teaching techniques and distilled them here into easy-to-follow top quality video courses.
GOEMA COURSE
I’d like to teach you a Goema carnival rhythm in under 20 minutes, that you can perform on a drum or a kitchen pot or a bar counter (or on drums).
Musical training or technique is not a pre-requisite.
My process is simple, focused and holistic.
GOEMA E-BOOK
With each course I've merged the core technique with authentic background and context.
The Goema material points you toward the emotion, history and culture behind this infectious carnival beat..
Quick drills help you master the necessary hand and foot techniques.
