What Participants are Saying…

I took my first frame drum class with Natanya and while I have no previous musical experience, those concerns were quickly dissolved . Natanya confidently and effectively taught us the basic techniques and “notes” to familiarize ourselves with the drum.


Even after the first class, I felt like I had “come home”. The sound produced was so incredibly soothing and grounding to my soul and spirit. Natanya was very encouraging throughout the classes, building on what we had practiced previously as a group. It was amazing how in only three classes, our drumming tribe was connecting with one another, celebrating each other's progress. 

The class goes beyond just technique and the mechanics of learning this instrument. It is community and feeling a part of something very special and affirming! Natanya led us with ease and patience as we continued to learn. The video clips she provided are wonderful to practice with. I highly recommend taking this class with Natanya based on her experiences and natural talent as a musician and mentor.


Thank you Natanya for a life enhancing experience, I’m honored to have learned from you!
