About the Classes
– Cajón classes can be taken as private one-on-one classes of continuous 40-minute weekly or biweekly classes, or as a 60-minute one-on-one single workshop.
– Classes can be taken live (in-person) or digitally (via Zoom).
Note that due to the corona pandemic, classes might (temporarily) be held digitally if the situation demands it.
– You can start (bi)weekly classes at any moment during the teaching season (September-June), and can quit at any moment (a 1-month notice term applies).
– Classes focus on cajón technique, flamenco cajón rhythms and breaks, and flamenco guitar/singing/dancing accompaniment, and traditional palmas (rhythmic clapping).
Later, you can optionally learn additional percussion instruments like foot pedals, shakers, claves and cymbals.
– There are cajóns in the studio for you to play on during live class, or you can bring your own. For digital classes, you’ll need your own cajón.
