Welcome to the OVM Website
IMPORTANT – COVID-19
This is to inform you that currently we are cancelling our forthcoming courses until further notice.
We appreciate that the current COVID-19 outbreak is a cause of concern and we will follow Govt guidelines and make all necessary adjustments as recommended and will only return to running our courses when it is safe to do so.
We hope the situation has improved sufficiently by August to run the Camp Iroko & Brazilian Percussion Weekender. We are taking bookings for these courses but of course a full refund will be issued in the event they need to be cancelled due to Govt advice.
It is also possible that there may be Govt restrictions on the numbers that can gather in a group, in which case, we would run the courses with the students that have booked in date order, until we reach the maximum permitted.
We hope you keep safe during these uncertain times.

We’ll be working on a number of Bata toques with an in-depth study into the language for each drum. The study will include learning long sequences that require linking several different toques together.

Read some testimonies from past students
“Very impressed with Raz’s teaching skills, particularly his attention to detail with each group. I felt he spent enough time with each individual section. Also, his manner was very pleasant and it felt very relaxed – despite learning some new and more complex rhythms he made it seem quite easy somehow.” Sambadoc, Pembroke
