Take Classes Weekly, or Every Other Week

Our Darbuka Classes will run on Wednesdays, 6:45pm EST, on an interspersed schedule. The classes are live and interactive, online over Zoom video conference.
What this means is that every other Wednesday we will hold the Intro to Darbuka (beginner) class, and on the Wednesdays in between, we will hold the Darbuka Mastery (intermediate) class. See the dates for each course above. You can sign up for both courses and attend every Wednesday if you already have some darbuka experience and want to brush up on your basics, or just sign up for one that best fits your needs. |
