MEMBERSHIP
A long-term space to develop your playing
Description
The Membership gives you access to all DJEMBESOLO learning materials.
It is designed to let you move naturally between sound, rhythm, patterns, and notation, depending on where your attention and energy are at a given moment.
Instead of staying stuck on the same subject for too long, the Membership encourages alternation. Shifting focus helps keep practice fresh and productive over time.
The content covers hand technique, rhythmic organization, phrasing, and notation, from fundamental principles to more advanced musical situations. Physical understanding remains central, while written tools are introduced only when they are genuinely useful.
The goal is not to “own” a lot of content, but to put you in a position to diversify the way you learn.
