West African Drumming classes at Studio Solomon offer a great opportunity for people with or without musical experience to meet new people, learn traditional West African drum music (no musical experience necessary), learn to play together in a group and enjoy the many health benefits of hand drumming. Beginner classes meet from 6 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays.

Studio Solomon drummers will be performing in Tammi Hessen's annual It Makes a Village fundraiser on November 19. Wisotzkey says, "This fundraiser has become an opportunity for the studio's drumming students to dress up, have fun and showcase what they've been working on all year!"

Beginner classes are $15, including drum rental. Location: 310 S. 10th St., Lemoyne. For more information, call 717-329-2955, email [email protected] or visit StudioSolomon.com.
