Makame Faki overseeing the Kidumbak Workshop

Workshops and seminars offered at DCMA are generally free of charge and are open to the public, unless otherwise specified. It is our aim to provide workshops on a wide range of subjects as an introduction to various instruments, playing techniques, music styles, music-related skills, etc. So far DCMA has hosted workshops on sound engineering, creative journalism, Kidumbak, trumpet playing, bass guitar and children's music education. Further workshops planned for 2003 include Sarod playing, Arabic ensemble play, Drums, Zumari, arts management and more. We welcome input from guest teachers and visitors around the world to share their skills or learn about Zanzibar music, meet musicians and exchange ideas.
