"Drumming is as essential to the human spirit as dance, song, prayer and meditation. Human beings have an innate need to come together and have group experiences that are transcending." Kadijah
Drum Classes, Workshops, Events and Performances
I enjoy Kadijah as a drum teacher. She takes the time to explain things and help her students. She treats them all the same no matter if it's someone's first time or if it's their 100th class. She treats them all with love and respect.
