Instruction - Mark and Ling Shien teach private and group lessons in percussion {darbuka, riqq, and frame drum}, dancing with zils, and rhythm theory. In collaboration with Carolena Nericcio, originator of ATS®, we have established a terminology to define musical concepts. We teach workshops internationally, and can tailor one for your specific needs, like the video below from Shakti School of Dance in India.

Dancers: Colleena Shakti , Banjara Dance Troup , Nuria Diaz Garcia, Sandra on sajat
And from an article in the Gilded Serpent about a workshop with Mark: "We attended both a private drum lesson and class with Mark. We both felt that Mark was patient, thorough, and broke things down in a way that did not make us feel inferior in our skills."
