We will come together for this one day workshop with the drum and (re)discover the magic of its wild sound and sensation. We’ll learn practical tools and techniques for improving your drum practice and confidence.There will be a mixture of teaching points, solo and group exercises, a closed eye journeying visualisation and discussion.
We are not aiming for technical perfection; we’re aiming for courageous authenticity and to improve our confident expression of self.

TESTIMONIALS
I 10/10 recommend Charlotte's drumming course to others. This is an ancient part of humanity that everyone should be experiencing. Going outside with my drum in the session felt amazing and I felt in tune with the earth and my ancestors. Drumming and connecting with the plants gave me goosebumps, knowing that they are also vibrational beings and we are all resonating together! It was an engaging day with no pressure or judgement, it felt good to make sound!CB, 2022 Call of the Drum participant
I would definitely recommend Charlotte's drumming workshop. What I'll take away most was being confident to make noise, have fun and make mistakes! I felt connected to myself and the music.
JB, 2022 Call of the Drum participant
I would definitely recommend Charlotte's drumming course to others. Charlotte's warmth and inviting nature makes it feel like a fun, interactive and safe space where I felt held- this helped me get over my nerves. Charlotte provides a wonderful space and gave me the confidence to open up more. It felt amazing to go outside and drum in nature too. Thanks for an amazing day, I feel super inspired to play more.

You're awesome Charlotte, I learnt heaps today. I want to get a drum and practise even more and experiment. It felt good to know that learning how it feels in my body and experimenting is they key and that there is no rule book. This made me feel more free. Thank you. JK, 2022 Call of the Drum participant
