March 17: Joy of West African Drumming - Mae Stoll, artistic director, with ComeDrumforFun students
Mae Stoll has been passionate about the Djembe and its song for the past five years. An enthusiastic learner, she has studied intensely and developed a deep love and respect for this West African instrument and the music it was created to play. A rigorous instructional experience in Guinea, West Africa, solidified Mae's calling to the drum and, as a natural teacher and facilitator, she is now on a personal mission to share the joy of this music with all people through teaching and free performances with her students in the community. New students are always welcome at her classes in South Austin.
