Lessons and Instruction I currently have openings for private and group Instruction in the following: Drum set Percussion & Hand drums Didgeridoo [ Peter van Gorder has been playing and studying music for 24 years. His instruments include drum set, world percussion, didgeridoo, and Tuvan Throat Singing. His current fascination is with the way every thought, feeling and emotion are the sub-harmonic content of every movement and sound we make. These energies can be amplified with the ancient technology of the Drum into what is innocently called "sound". He has worked the energy of audiences of 3000+ at venues such as The Fillmore, BurningMan, Hog Farm and Earthdance and intimate settings such as rituals, wedding ceremonies, kirtans and meditation classes. ]
