Regardless of ability level, the instructor was really patient and made sure everyone was involved. It seemed like a single large family by the time I began playing with other people.

The instructors were excellent - My favourite part of my vacation to Ghana was this drumming workshop! The instructors were excellent, and the environment was friendly and inviting. They made it simple to learn the beats, and at the end, we all got to perform several local songs together. I felt motivated and a part of the local way of life when I left. I'm eager to go back.

amazing time - I had the most amazing time at the African drumming lessons! The teacher was extremely informed and enthusiastic about the culture. Learning the background of each beat as well as its rhythms was fascinating to me. The three hours went by quickly! Connecting with the local music and even getting to know some other travellers was a wonderful experience. If you're in Accra, you must do this!
