Here is a FREE sample lesson (6 Beats w/ 4 Pulse w/ Triplets) from my Shekere Instructional DVD, entitled (brilliantly!) Play Shekere. The DVD is in stock and ready to ship! Here is a link to another sample lesson and ordering information: handsondrum/shekereinstructionDVD.html Each of the 18 beginning to advanced lessons builds upon the skills learned in previous lessons in an easy, step-by-step journey, and are individually accessed through the main menu. I also weave very short stories and Life Rhythms messages into many of the lessons, so the DVD also becomes a resource for helping us to reinforce productive, real-world Life Skills. But wait... theres more! The DVD also includes four, 10-minute audio loops to play along to so you can practice your Shekere skills, and the skills of any instrument. This DVD is truly a labor of love for me, and Im honored that Ive received so many wonderful comments about it from literally around the world! One of them is from Jorge Melendez, a master Shekere maker in Puerto Rico, who wrote, The DVD is great! I like the way you made the Shekere lessons individual, so the viewer can work with the one they need. I would like to order 12 to start, so we can sell them in our Shekere booth at festivals here in San Juan.. And, yes, there are Shekeres available in your area; The LP Jim Greiner Shekere (LP484) is available literally worldwide in music stores and online, often at discounted prices! Here is more information about it, including a demonstration of it that I performed in the LP booth at a music products trade show: lpmusic/products/shekeres/jim-greiner-pro-shekere/ Ive used Shekeres as one of my primary Drum Circle Facilitation tools for many years; it is a lightweight, mobile, and very versatile instrument. it is also able to be heard at all volume levels, and is very easy for people to see when used for giving visual cues.
