About Michael
We all respond to information in our own unique way. My job, as a tutor, is to share this information and practice with you at the level of receptivity and understanding that suits you best. I've been teaching for over 50 years and what I like to remind students is this... I have a Grammy nomination, have recorded soundtracks for TV and released nearly a dozen CDs along the way. I tell you this - not to brag - but to say that none of that matters! What matters is who you are and where your energy is at in the present moment...Because that is where the ART happens. Enjoy the ride

Ready to deep dive into the ecstatic dance, heart, and language of Rhythm?
Most folks who struggle with confidence at drum circles do so not because their hands are weak or unwilling but most likely find themselves unable to decipher what they're actually hearing...
There are many great teachers to be found locally if you want to study West African Drumming, or Afro-Cuban, or Mid Eastern Drumming but I found most folks simply want to show up at a drum circle with greater confidence supported by a deeper, and richer vocabulary of rhythms....We all can play but can we understand and decipher what we hear in order to contribute with purpose and passion? - I can help...
This program I call - The Sacred Prequel - explores the essence of rhythmic language and its relationship to nature, time, and energy through the human body and voice.
This is the heart and language of Rhythm before it branched out into what we now call African rhythm or Mid Eastern rhythm or Indian rhythm or Freestyle drum circle rhythms.
Once this essence is understood and embodied with confidence and we develop a personal language of Rhythm....the doors to the myriad forms and styles of world music will open for you with greater clarity and confidence. Just as in any study of language, the keys to success are an ever growing vocabulary that can then be accessed whether it be accompanying belly dancers, fueling African dance and drum parties or simply contributing to the pleasures of drum circles on the beach.
Before there was tradition and rules there was love and passion for sharing rhythm with community...In relationship to self, to one another & to the greater village circle...
So bring your love and passion for the practice of Rhythm...whether for Personal Meditations, Shamanic and Healing Rituals, Dance and Performance, or simply rocking out at the beach on a full moon night...

Deadly! I really enjoyed my first lesson with Michael. He was just a lovely person, and he taught me things during our initial lesson that were immediately helpful in my drumming.
Deadly! I am so grateful to have Micheal as a tutor. He has truly found a way to transfer musical wisdom with style, grace and patience. I will continue to be his student for as long as he has me.

If you’re going to up your playing, technical ability, and understanding of time and space in your playing, than you will hardly find a teacher that can take you there like Michael Moses. He is an incredibly inspiring person and talent that you don’t meet every day.
I found Michael on Superprof and chose him after reading his profile. After two classes, I am really glad I did. I thoroughly enjoy his teaching style and appreciate the depth of knowledge he shares about African drumming. It feels more like having a conversation with a music mentor than a traditional teacher.
Michael understands the challenges beginners face, and he is incredibly patient and kind. I never feel pressured during our sessions; instead, he encourages, guides, and inspires me.I am so grateful for Michaels passion and patience for teaching. Feeling very fortunate to have his musical wisdom shared, and done in a way that makes sense. Highly recommend anyone at any level to connect with Michael.
I've learned and progressed so much during my time studying with Michael. I value his patience and expertise in the subject and would absolutely recommend Michael as a teacher for anyone wanting to develop a deeper understanding of World Rhythms and techniques. I've benefitted as much from his virtual Zoom lessons as I have face to face.
I've worked with Michael, both professionally and as a student of World Rhythm and Culture, for nearly 20 years.
He can speak to beginners as well as seasoned veterans and finds ways to engage and enhance creatively and with great results. I would highly recommend Michael's teaching style and abilities.View more recommendations
