New features & study material for this course
In the new course, I will be setting up a special page on my website for the class with a special password, where I will post up a video/lesson of all the ex and grooves we covered in each class each week and 
send it out to you guys each week, and allow for discussion and questions on each lesson page, this would make practising and learning what we looked at in class much easier. It will be a form of study material for you to work with at home. It would be important for everyone to practise a bit at home to keep up with the course and the rest of the group.
Enrolment for this course has now started so get in touch! Please note that if we do not get a certain amount of students enrolled, we will have to cancel the course so let us know as soon as you can if you are interested.
If you would like to join the beginners 2 course, please write to us at londoncajonschool@gmail.com and we’ll send you an email with the details as to enrolment etc.

Hi there,
Can you please let me know if you are planning any live cajon lessons / workshops for beginners?
Best
Trevor
Hey Trevor! I am currently not in the UK anymore and hence I am not doing any in person workshops in Cambridge at present! I do have my Modern Method online course which is great to get on it, and of course if you are signed up to my newsletter you will know as soon as I set up a workshop in Cambridge again while on tour!
Big hugs
HEidi
Hi Heidi,
I saw you playing in Cambridge two weeks ago – that was fantastic! My husband has always wanted to learn to play cajon (he plays djembe) and I would greatly appreciate it if you could let me know when you are planning to start your classes. I would also like to buy cajon for his birthday – your advice would be appreciated on where I should get one for him. Thank you in advance! Good luck with your album! Olga
Hello Olga!
Great to hear from you! If you want to know about the lessons, I suggest you sign up to the cajonbox newsletter, we are finalising all the details. As per cajon, I would recommend that you buy one of my Cruz cajons, which is available directly from me, here on this website, on our webshop.

I recommend lion. I got mine from there
Do you do private lessons at all ? Am in Spain at the moment
but wanted to contact you to find out. Or will you be doing
any busking within the next couple of weeks and if so where.
Would really like the chance to see your group or take some
private lessons before i have to return to the states. Am in
Europe until the 2nd of October then have to fly back. Am
loving the cajon and thank you for your channel it gave me a
good running start. Of course there is much more to learn and
keep banging away all day every day. Something has to sink in.
Hello Ganga!
At the moment I do not do any private lessons, I unfrotunately have no time for that, but I might be starting up my cajon group class in October, however, it seems you are resturning to the states on the 2nd October! We will be busking around London and bath this month, but we have no set concerts (there will be none untill we finish our album, which is well on the way). I would suggest you stay in spain and just learn as much about the cajon there as possible! And next time you come over, we will have some very exciting stuff up and running! everything is crazy here after the olympics and we are also not so busy with things as we are focussing on the recording for the next 2 months. Would have been lovely to meet you though!!! Keep practising! 🙂
Hi Heidi,
I caught up with you outside the Guildhall (Cambridge) last month and you mentioned the possiblity of another course in Cambridge later this year or next year. Just really registering my interest so you know that people are keen.
Loved the CD, it’s given me a totally unrealistic goal !!!
Keep up the good work, hope the rain stays away while busking and looking forward to the next newsletter.
Darren
Hello Darren
I might quite possibly starting up a group course in Cambridge from October, I will let you know once this is confirmed ok!

Hi Heidi,
Do you still have places left for this Wednesday evening in Cambridge ?
I’d like to attend, and possibly my teenage daughter – we have 1 cajon between us so would need to hire 1 from you for the lesson.
Hope to see you on Wednesday,
Darren
