This method is divided into three parts. A first part in which are presented the original characteristics of use of the djembe; you will also find the basics to read the scores. The second part of yourself, in an evolutionary way, to master the basic notes of the djembe and to synchronize your hands. The third part is composed of notebooks of rhythms to constitute a baggage to you. You will learn all the operations of technical orders specific to this instrument (sculpture, maintenance, editing, decoration, agreement, ...). After several years spent in West Africa following the traditional teaching of the djembe of a Guinean teacher, I have maintained that this teaching, based on oral transmission, imitation and repetitiveness, was not really beneficial only for people who are marked in this musical culture. To build his game and become a good djembefola, each novice must make his apprenticeship by uniting, little by little and over several years, all the components of this musical 'puzzle'. In this method, a three-year research work product, I am striving for meeting, classifying and explaining the basic elements of this "puzzle" by adapting this traditional teaching to our Western conception of learning music. . Now it's your turn! and know that the real team of the method accompanies you with the thought in your efforts and your passion. Sébastien Koukel
