InRhythm Blog

We are so proud! InRhythm is finally opening its very first store and drumming space. Tim's been working hard to deck it out and our crew are busy making gorgeous new djembes to make this store a music-lover's delight!

Because we're so excited about our store and space, we want to share the joy with you! On 22 August we will hold a GRAND STORE OPENING with a whole day full of FREE activities.

The InRhythm store's Grand Opening will include special guests such as Guinean Master Drummer Sibo Bangoura to teach a drum workshop. The effervescent Rachel Bangoura will then run an African dance workshop. InRhythm's The Drop will perform, and we'll also run a drum circle.

Where: InRhythm store, 8 Henry Parry Dr, East Gosford
When: 10.30am, Sunday 22 August 2010
What to bring: Your drum (if you have one, we'll have some available if you don't) and your dancing shoes!

We will also be utilising the space in the East Gosford Progress Hall on the day. This will be a full-house, no bookings event - be on time to take part in all the fun of the day.

Not only are we putting on a fantastic Open Day on 22 August (see our next blog entry) but we have a treat for coasties even before then! The much-loved Tim Orgias is not only back on the Central Coast but will be running a 6-week class out of our East Gosford Store. For all those looking for a "reunion class", this is for you (beginners also very welcome)!

Central Coast 6-week courses
Mondays: Lake Haven with Heath (starts 26 July)
Tuesdays: East Gosford with Tim (starts 3 August)
Wednesdays: Wamberal with Heath (starts 28 July)

Bookings: Book online or call Jac on 1300 55 40 35.

Join us from 6.30pm on Saturday 27 March as we celebrate Earth Hour at Balmoral. InRhythm students from all Term 1 locations are invited to share a candlelit picnic at the Rotunda at Balmoral Beach, followed by a phonetic run-through at 7pm and the main performance during lights out at 9pm.

Remember to bring a picnic (optional), a chair/strap, and your drum. Email us at info@inrhythm.com.au if you need us to bring a drum for you.

Earth Hour, Every Hour. :-)

Wow, what an amazing student performance before Djan Djan at Kantara House last Tuesday night (16 March 2010)! Congratulations to all our wonderful Wamberal class students for a stellar performance. It was an amazing honour to play for our community, and to play before none other than Bobby Singh, Jeff Lang and Mamadou Diabate!

Students (past and present) who want a fun class that will challenge their playing should also check out Heath's 3-week Wamberal class starting Wednesday 31 March. See our website for more details and to book.

Watch as InRhythm students perform what they learnt over 6 to 8 weeks. Many had never drummed before! These events are the largest of their kind and promote the sense of community that drumming creates...everyone can be a part of it. Come and be a part of this! Rhythm Festival.
