Brush up your timbau skills this summer with this new Timbau technique course from Global Grooves.
Lead by Leon Patel, participants will study basic and advanced techniques, common rhythms and grooves, solo phrasing and how to devise and build your own Timbau breaks in groups. By the end of the five weeks we will have developed several rhythms and unison solo phrasing as well as increased our stamina and technique.
The course is designed for beginners to advanced participants.
If you have never played the Timbau before then some hand drumming experience is necessary and will suite those who have played instruments such as conga, and Djembe.
Some instruments can be provided but participants are encouraged to bring their own if they have them.

Global Grooves is proud to announce its second short course in the pandeiro. Following several requests from our participants we have developed a short modular study of the pandeiro designed to give you an introduction to playing the instrument and put several styles under your belt to help you play along in your performance groups and ensembles.
Delivered by the Global Grooves core team (Leon Patel, Eraldo De Sa Marques and Holly Prest) this course will help you to develop pandeiro techniques in an fun, friendly and supportive environment.
This course is suitable for complete beginners to intermediate players.
We will focus on key styles including Capoeira, Samba, Coco, Funk and contemporary styles as well as tips and simple juggling tricks to spice up your playing. We will also explore how the pandeiro can be used with amplification and mics to create the sound of the whole Bateria in the palm of your hand.
Some instruments can be provided but participants are encouraged to bring their own if they have them
***Caution – Pandeiro playing is highly addictive!***
