THE SECOND ONE IS OUT !
My djembesolo project is growing. I just launched the second course a couple of weeks ago and the feedback is excellent. Check the above video for a free preview. You can enroll here !

FINALLY !
Twenty years ago I wrote a (big) book about the djembe. But I was half convinced it was the support I wanted. At least not alone. Then I thought about making DVDs. It seemed to be better, but again I didn’t believe enough in it to pursue. And now here am I in 2019, completely enjoying the technology we can use nowadays. I just launched a new website focused on my teaching today. djembesolo.com...

FINALLY!
I have been asked to give lessons on Skype for some time but I was skeptical at first. Then I used it while working on the Samuel l Jackson challenge to communicate with some musicians and I found it very convenient. So I picked a platform to handle bookings and payments, then organized a dedicated audio/video system and finally launched the service this last January (2019). I really enjoy it and the student feedback is excellent.

I thought: "Here I can do something".
Then I talked with some friends, to my son, to people I never met... et voilà.

He was practicing
I came in and said "Hello, can we play?"

Gentle and Creative
People generally think I am not interested in teaching to beginners. In fact I enjoy very much starting from there. Nothing to rebuild, enthusiasm, freshness... The Prague beginner sessions were especially enjoyable, we were able to be creative while learning. Thumbs up!

Before 2008 I played drums and ended up being part of a punk band. In March 2008 our singer took me to a park. Some people were playing djembe there. I liked it very much and, at the beginning, we just organized drum circles then later, we started to play traditional Mandingo music.
