FAQ

 

I am a student – does that count as low income? 
Yes, absolutely. All those who count as students/concessions are welcome to pay the low income rate. Please get in touch here.

What does Part 1 mean?
The beginners course (and Katumba learning journey as a whole) has several parts – there’s a lot to learn! Each part breaks down different areas of learning, which will become more in depth as you progress. Part 1 is the first stage of your learning journey 🙂

Do I need to do this course to join the band?
Yes. Unless you are already a very experienced percussionist, this is the best route for you to join the band.

By doing this course will I be in the band? 
No – there are several parts to your learning journey and it will take some time before you are ready to perform as part of the band. It also depends on what drums are available. However, you will absolutely be part of our Katumba community, and we welcome everybody with open arms!
