FAQ

I am a student – does that count as low income? 
Yes, absolutely. All those who count as students/concessions are welcome to pay the low income rate. Please get in touch here.

What does “Intro To The Katumba Experience” mean?
After the “Intro To Katumba Experience”, you can choose to continue on your learning pathway and join us on our journey by becoming a Katumba Member.

Do I need to do this course to join the band?
Yes. Unless you are already a very experienced percussionist, this is the best route for you to join the band.

By doing this course will I be in the band? 
No – there are several parts to your learning journey and it will take some time before you are ready to perform as part of the band. It also depends on what drums are available. However, you will absolutely be part of our Katumba community, and we welcome everybody with open arms!
