Zorina teaches drumming as her teachers (primarily Babatunde Olatunji) have taught her.The teaching is both oral and aural. Students sing the Yoruba sounds of the drum, and to sing the melody of “notes,” playing the drum follows easily. The rhythms are songs that become internalized, circumventing the need for prior musical training. The rhythms taught are parts of songs and dances to honor cycles of the year, rites of passage, and all aspects of life, work, and celebration. http://www.villageheartbeat.com
