Village Heartbeat offers a range of courses and workshops in the U.S. that take drumming into new evolutionary territory that is as much about personal growth as it is about rhythm and musical training.
See the Drumming Classes and Calendar sections for details on current course offerings and registration.

Developed in the early 1970’s by Austrian composer and percussionist Reinhard Flatischler, and co-developed by Cornelia Flatischler, TaKeTiNa is a musical group process that allows people to access their innate ability to express and embody rhythm, whether they are complete beginners or musically accomplished.
TaKeTiNa workshops and trainings are held in over 40 major cities around the world.
See the TaKeTiNa section for complete info.

Coming Soon-- Village Heartbeat Drum Tutorials
At the request of Zorina's students, VHB is going to produce a series of drum tutorials that can be used for students working individually or in a group setting.
Each CD will cover information on particular "families" of rhythms and how easy variations can be learned from a "root" drum pattern.
Notation will be included to be able to assist learning the parts that are included in each drum orchestration. You will be able to subscribe to these tutorials and download them from this website soon!
