My Music Note workshop took place from the 7th to the 11th of July, 2014 from 10:00am to 1:00pm daily at Gongbeat Studio, N.C.A.C. (Artiste Village), National Art Theater, Iganmu, Lagos.
The workshop, the second edition, provided an opportunity for African drummers and percussionists to learn the theory of music to upgrade themselves to the standard required of them internationally.
Irawo was there as a participant. Mr. Dayo Liadi, a dancer and the creative director of the Ijodee Dance Company, was one of the sponsors and participants.
He made the class lively with his jokes as he humbly learnt the rudiments of the music notations we were taught.
I advise drummers who missed this edition to plan to be there for the next one.
