Our team
We are husband and wife team, Kaya and Holly
Kaya is a multi-instrumentalist and seasoned performer having played at festivals all over Australia such as Falls, Woodford, and Sydney Festival. He has been a passionate drum teacher for over 22 years, teaching community classes, school groups, workshops and one-on-one lessons.
From the earliest of ages Kaya was called to play rhythms. Beginning on the piano and didgeridoo, Kaya had the good fortune growing up in a household rich in creativity and full of instruments. His passion has taken him on a lifelong journey into the ‘way of the drum’, exploring themes of intention, tension and integrity. He is a prolific percussionist who has spent his life learning from world percussion masters.
Kaya has a patient, caring and sensitive teaching style that is inclusive of all abilities. He is a master drummer with a unique ability to explain and breakdown rhythms, making them accessible to everyone. He facilitates drum groups that are well-balanced, respectful and non-judgemental.
Holly has a Bachelor of Live Art and Masters in Forest Science. She has worked professionally as a yoga teacher, a team leader for conservation NGO's, a forest fire fighter and a land manager for state government. She has completed facilitator training in transformational nature connection, and a year long program with the School of Shamanic Womancraft where she began her journey with the frame drum.
