“Elizabeth is a patient and responsive teacher. There were a variety of abilities in our group,
and she made it accessible for us all to learn at our own pace”

“Elizabeth's course was great, really helpful and inspiring. It was well organised, informative and fun.
It was also really useful to have handouts and video clips to practice with at home.
And it was lovely to meet and connect with other drummers.
Learning rhythms with Elizabeth has been of invaluable help to me as a dancer as well as a as a drummer”

“Apart from the great hospitality, the darbuka course was very useful, and for me in particular,
I enjoyed the vocalisation techniques... it changed the way I approach drumming.
On the final day, we performed a piece together with other professional musicians
on various instruments – that was the icing on the cake.”

"I always looked forward to going to the drum workshop with Elizabeth.
She explains things very clearly and gives time to everyone.
Her way of teaching is very calm and the body percussion techniques are really useful in helping to understand rhythm.
The courses are well structured and well thought out to get the best from the students possible.
I would highly recommend going if you want to learn darbuka or frame drum"

I liked that I could learn both techniques on the frame drum and basic knowledge about Arabic music from scratch.
As a professional musician I enjoyed the simplicity of the course because I could learn what I needed to learn
(on a fairly new instrument for me) in a relaxed atmosphere with no pressure.
Also, it's a great idea to send a video of a summary from the lesson.

"Elizabeth is a great teacher and very knowledgeable about the rhythmic traditions of the Balkans & Middle East.
The Darbuka classes were challenging & enjoyable and I'll be joining her for a Frame drum course in the future"
