Berlin Frame Drum School
program
Frame drum courses
Join the frame drum community, develop your musicality and indulge in the rhythmic flow! Besides individual lessons I offer drum circles, group classes and intensive workshops.
I am working on a new program which I will (hopefully) announce soon. Let’s stay in touch: write me an email to borys.drums@gmail.com to sign up for a newsletter.
We have a Drum Camp in Poland coming in October, Drum Circle twice a month and two on-going groups – in-person and online (see below!)
Frame drum retreat in Poland
Swidwowiec, Poland | 11-13.10.2024
For the fifth time the beautiful village of Swidwowiec (2h from Berlin) we will study modern frame drums and indulge in a musical flow, get energized with morning yoga sessions, and relax with evening concerts of Tibetan bowls and gongs.
More info below.

Dum circles
Irregular meetings for all levels
September: Thursday 12th at 18:30-20:30 and Sunday 22nd at 12:00
Open classes dedicated to playing together, group improvisation, embodying groove and music. We start with a technical part (warm-up, some new input). Then we learn a groove, which later gets developed into longer phrases and provides a basis for improvisations. When playing together we address the question of balance: between holding the space, giving the space, and taking the space. An important lesson for both for a musician and a human. :)
The classes happen irregularly, usually at least twice a month.
If you are interested in joining, please send me a message!

individual lessons: in-person & on-line
I give individual lessons for students of every level - both in-person and on-line. The lessons are adjusted to the needs of student - whether it's professional goals, hobby, meditative practice, self-development or boosting rhythmic skills. There is no such thing as 'lack of the sense of the rhythm' or 'lack of musicality'. Everyone has capabilities to practice music in their daily life.
I teach contemporary techniques for lap-style frame drum (known also as mazhar / mizhar / bendir), upper-style frame drum (in some places known as tar, bendir, tof, daf), riq (also written riqq).
