Shalom Music Shcool

Changing lives through the power of learning, sharing and making music for more than fifteen years!

Shalom Music School was founded in 1998 as the Greater Center for Arts & Music, located at 4 kilo , Megenagna and Gerji Street. The Music School encompassed both of those organizations in addition to providing a regular schedule of instruction in private and group lessons in voice, many instruments, theory and music history, piano and violin. The founder Tihitena Taye dreamed of a community music school for Addis Ababa youth and saw that dream fulfilled.

Our cutting-edge educational offerings provide the information, skills and expertise necessary for musicians and creative professionals to achieve their goals. We strive to develop a diverse array of talented individuals who can enrich the global community with their artistic contributions.

Drum

Once you have your basic equipment (drum sticks, playing surface) and a good sense of proper technique, you’re ready to start learning the fundamental patterns of drumming, or the simple drum rudiments.

Drum rudiments are often described as the basic building blocks of learning how to play the drums. There are 40 essential rudiments, each of which consist of a unique sticking pattern (coordination of right and left hands) and distinct rhythm. Mastering all 40 rudiments provides you with a wealth of control and rhythmic knowledge that you can then apply to the entire drum set.

Kerar

Krar and Begena are used in Ethiopian Orthodox Church song and classical music. It is easy to learn how to play Krar with us. Enjoy the sweet melodies and the stimulating vibration of the strings.
