We teach the Kora. This lovely 21-string instrument from West Africa is played using the thumb and forefinger of each hand, producing complex and beautiful music. We are able to teach both absolute beginners and more advanced players. We run workshops in the UK and Senegal and are available for individual tuition.

We also make koras, convert traditional leather ring ones to modern machine heads and offer support and advice to all levels of ability.
