The Modern Method for Cajon is one complete curriculum, developed over twenty years by Heidi Joubert, the Cajon Queen, and used to teach millions of people to find their heartbeat on the cajon. Three courses take you step by step, beat by beat, from your very first note to full mastery — from zero to cajon hero.

Heidi Joubert taught herself the cajon through countless hours busking around London, and built the UK's only dedicated cajon school from those streets up. One of the first cajon teachers ever on YouTube, she still owns the largest cajon-learning channel in the world — and a viral subway jam in Frankfurt took the instrument to the world stage.
Everything she learned the hard way became the Modern Method for Cajon, and she has since trained millions of cajon players through her online lessons and YouTube channel. Across the three courses — Discover Cajon, Progress on Cajon and Master Cajon — you build real percussion technique: grooves, breaks and fills, dynamics, add-ons and much more. Trusted by students in over 55 countries, with lessons watched over 27 million times.
Invited to speak as a person of inspiration, Heidi took the TEDx stage in Cesena, Italy, with "Break the Box" — the story of the cajon, her own journey, and what breaking out of the box has taught her in life and in music.
