Kimia Percussion Academy

Welcome to Percussion Academy Classes! Below is a brief description of the classes along with the fee schedule. ​ If you are interested in learning to play a new instrument (Daf, Tombak, Dayereh, Frame drum, etc.), we are here to help. During the sessions, not only will you learn to play the instrument, but you will also learn to understand the fundamentals of Music Theory, Rhythm Theory, techniques to be able to play with your favorite music piece, and to be able to play in a group. We will teach you reading and writing notes, how to improvise, how to play solo, or with another instrument being played. You will learn to go with your own flow such that the sessions won’t feel like a class but more like meditation. In this world, music is a powerful tool which can be used to bring peace within ourselves, and therefore within our society. In addition to our sessions, there will be yearly recitals available that you will be able to perform in a group or alone in front of your friends and family. This will motivate you to practice more and show off to people close to you how much you have learned, and your love for music! There are classes for all levels; beginners, intermediate and advanced. Via our Daf circle, you can connect to other people who play similar to your level and enjoy playing music together.
