there is nothing wrong with it!
there is no crowd restriction for African drums aged 3 or 4 to 6 or 7
!
It is also an accidental opportunity for me to play African drums. Some time ago, my children gave a performance and clamored to buy African drums. Since then, I haven't learned them, so my old mother has started to learn drums.
Now I have to play a song every afternoon after work. Usually, my hands are much more edified, and the two children are also scrambling to learn African drums. My eldest son has learned a tune like Little Baby.
Actually, it didn't take me long to learn African drums. I learned it easily after 15 days of self-study, and now I have no problem with songs of this level, such as The Wind Blows the Wheat Waves.
There are three reasons why I choose to learn African drums:
1. Simple and easy to learn: African drums are easy to get started, and it is very easy to learn music theory and rhythm.
2. The cost is very low: African drums are not expensive, unlike guitars and pianos, which cost thousands of dollars. Even with the course I studied, it is about 5 yuan, which is quite cost-effective.
3. It's good for your health: playing African drums can exercise your body, enhance the coordination between your hands and brain, and release the pressure. Besides, you can overdo it if you want to learn other musical instruments later.
It is true that anyone can play African drums a few times, but it takes a lot of effort to play them well and skillfully. Today, I will tell you how to learn African drums based on my learning experience!
※ You must have good equipment to learn African drums
System course
I learn African drums by myself with the system course, because I think African drums are difficult, so I don't need to spend a lot of money to find a one-on-one teacher to take them. Self-study is enough!
Although there are many African drums teachers on the Internet, it is difficult to distinguish their specialities. It is better to follow the systematic courses to learn them reliably, because some drum postures and gestures are difficult to change once the wrong habits are formed, which is time-consuming and laborious.
As for the free courses, I also watched a few at first. To sum up, most of them are superficial, just to increase the flow, and I don't talk about some basic contents at all, such as knowing the score, changing the left and right hands, and finding time to practice these basic but important contents directly, so I can't learn anything in depth, and I can't teach how to play songs directly when I come up. Although I learned one, I am confused to change the score.
When choosing a course, you should choose the course of "teach it to fish" instead of "teach it to fish". It is better to learn the basic content before playing the African drum from the beginning. With these contents, even if you change a difficult song, you are not afraid at all.
So I really suggest taking a professional systematic course from the beginning to learn African drums. You can learn quickly and master the beat and rhythm well.
I recommend the African drum course in Dingnai, which is really suitable for the African drum course of self-study based on !
What Ding Nai said is really comprehensive, from the knowledge of notes and scores to how to practice rhythm and the skills of playing songs, and so on. It is enough to learn African drums and watch Ding Nai as a systematic course.
It is also very clear in explanation, and pays great attention to details, such as the correct drum-holding action and posture, how to play the beat and practice rhythm. Basic friends watch it several times, and it is super fast to get started. It is not a problem to play songs like Childhood in two days.
I learned The Actor in about a week, and I learned several popular songs in half a month. It's easy to learn, and the learning speed is really unique. Ding Nai is really a necessary course for beginners and friends!
auxiliary books
I think it is also excellent to have an auxiliary book outside the course of learning African drums. You can read books while following the class, which can consolidate the learning content.
The book I read is "Learning to Play African Drum Course"
The content of this book is very comprehensive, and the content of the course also has matching chapters, which is more in line with the basic knowledge of African drum. It is really written according to the order of drumming, from the basic sound to the rich rhythm, the content is step by step, and every stage is talked about.
Beginners can really get a copy of the book "African Drum"!
The above are some must-see equipment when I learn African drums. I sincerely share them with you. Friends who want to learn African drums must see them!
