What you will learn
How to play with more joy, passion, and confidence and inspire the children around you.
This is Zikalo Method. The magic of playfulness! Zikalo Method is about developing a playful relationship with music! In Ivory Coast, west Africa, where I grew up, in my native language "Gban", the word Zikalo means music where “everybody joins in” In this course you will learn easy drumming patterns, phrases and rhythmic games. Not only that I will teach you the rhythms with drum, I will also teach you how you can move with the rhythms, sing them, step and clap them so that your whole body absorb them.
Soon, after you start this course you will want to improvise and interact, using these new skills. Rhythm is not a mystery, it is not given to a chosen few. Rhythm is born into each and every one of us. There is a magic and music in you waiting to come out. With this training course I’ll show you how easy it really is. Use them both for yourself and with your children. If you are a teacher, involve your students. Share it with your friends.
