Workshops
Making music sometimes means making your own instruments! Heather guides "kids of all ages" in the fun of making hand-held drums (upper left) or Australian-inspired didgeridus from PVC pipe (lower left). Workshops can be one or more sessions and cost of materials is nominal--frame drums $7 each; didgeridus about $5. Instruction fee additional. Great for schools, scouting and corporate team building!Can't commit to a six-week class? How about hosting a 2-3 workshop at your home or business? Heather will bring all drums needed and give participants some "Drumming 101" with plenty of time to free jam. Call for details.
