FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions 
How does it work? You organize your rhythm community, secure a space, and pick three possible date(s) for the World Percussion Workshop(s) of your choice. (Programs can be tailored to meet your community's particular needs.) Contact Robert with the three proposed dates and confirm his schedule. Make a 50% deposit for the workshop fee and Robert's estimated travel costs, secure accommodations for Robert, and you are set! Balance of Robert's fee payable at the start of the program. Can Robert stay with someone in our Rhythm community during the workshop? Yes, absolutely. Robert would PREFER to stay with someone in the drum community. (This helps cut down costs.) How much does it cost? Robert's teaching fee is $650 per day, plus travel and accommodations (meal and lodging). If you book Robert for two days, in Portland, for example, and arranged for Robert to stay with someone in the rhythm community, the cost would be approximately $1,600 ($1,300 for 2 days instruction, and approx. $300 in travel expenses). If 15 drummers attended the 2-day program, the cost for each would be $106/person for the entire workshop! Who provides the drums and percussion instruments? 
You do. Robert will only bring a few small percussion instruments (pandeiro, caxixi) for demonstration and instruction purposes. All remaining drums and percussion instruments are provided
by the workshop participants. Robert is available to teach technique and rhythms for the following instruments: djembe, congas, ashiko, chekere, caxixi, rebolo, tan-tan, surdo, pandeiro,
ganza, udu, timbau, cowbell, agogo & gangogui bells. What if total revenues are greater than Robert's fee and costs? All additional revenues go to the organizers! How do I get started? Discuss the idea with members of your drum community and determine what they would like to learn (e.g. Brazilian material? Afro-Cuban Folkloric? Pandeiro technique?...). Locate a space to host the workshop, and contact Robert with three proposed dates. All the details can then be worked out. |
