Frame Drum Lessons for Women
Come beloved, let’s share the sacred journey of drumming.
I delightfully anticipate the opportunity to open doors for you into the world of frame drumming and its relationship with the sacred feminine.
Each practice session is a ritual space into a sacred space that feels timeless. Our focus will be on learning frame drumming techniques as we soften into the body, ecstatically playing rhythms from all over the world, and engaging with the spiritual insights that drumming evokes.
❍
What we’ll explore in our lessons:
Learning techniques: playing lap-style & upright; the 4 major tones
World rhythms with an emphasis on classic Middle Eastern rhythms
Activating your voice with the drum
Bodily connection with the drum
Ceremonial and ritual drumming
Attuning with the cycles of nature & the cycles of the moon
❍
As we explore the language of sound, I’ll support you in listening closely to the rhythms of your own heart’s desires. Our sessions provide a creative, inspiring, and nurturing container for you to go deep within and express yourself fully, releasing inhibition as you move into ecstatic release.

FAQs
+ I don't have a frame drum. Where can I purchase one?
You can buy one online. If you’re a first time player, Remo or Cooperman Tar Frame Drums (16-20 inch) are perfect to learn with. You can always message me here to make sure you find a good fit before purchase.
+ How much does a session cost?
New students start with a package of 4 sessions for €260
After 4 sessions are complete, all sessions are €60 for 1 hour.
+ Will I need to express myself in ways I don't feel comfortable?
Absolutely not. These sessions are tailored to meet you where you are and safely examine where your growing edges are and find ways to meet them with adult awareness.
+ From where do you acquire your expertise?
I've had the privelege to study and play frame drum and music with some of the most devoted musicans I've ever met: River Gungerian, Adam Maalouf, Nacho Arimany, Peter Levitov, The Asheville Percussion Festival intensives, Isabel Castellvi, Alby Robeljo, Haleh Liza, and other stellar beings I have played with through travels. Also, I never studied with Layne Redmond in person, however, I feel a part of her lineage. I have closely worked with her associates and she and I have had meaningful encounters before her passing. You can read more about my professional trainings and qualifications on my ABOUT PAGE.
+ Where do offer your in person sessions?
I am currently located in Amsterdam, Netherlands. If you would like to be notified when I travel to the UK, the States or Asia, please let me know here.
“Dominique is raw, wild, feminine energy with the ability to ignite and invigorate the awareness of our living pulse. She does this through the frame drum, through her shining eyes, through her breath, and through her smile as she gently and fervently invites you back home to yourself with an unending vigor and strength. She won’t take no for an answer. She will cheer you on with a howl or a whisper that says...remember your alive! Isn’t it wonderful! What were you born here to do? What are you devoted to? Live it! Live it as if you would die tomorrow and this is your last chance. Breathe! Drum! Feel!
Through playing the drum in this way we learn to relate to our entire existence with this desire for complete and total awareness and absorption of life. Everything we do is then done with more awareness, more attention, and more love.
Thank you Dominique for sharing yourself so freely of yourself and teaching us to remember and embody fully what we truly are living for.”
