Hello, My name is Nate Waller. I am an African drummer and have been performing all over the world and teaching since the age of 20. I have the unique opportunity to teach other african american's about the culture in which they come from and it's music. `I currently have a group of students who have the skill and passion that i had when i was their age. I would love to give them the experience that i had and learn from master drummers and dancers in the mother land. 

Sending teenagers to Africa to learn and train under master drummers is a transformative experience that transcends traditional education. Immersing young minds in the rich tapestry of African drumming not only hones their musical talents but also fosters a deep appreciation for cultural diversity and heritage. Under the mentorship of master drummers, these teenagers will gain unparalleled insight into the rhythms and rituals that have shaped communities for generations. This journey nurtures discipline, creativity, and global awareness, equipping them with life skills and perspectives that extend far beyond the drum circle. By connecting with the heartbeats of African cultures, they become ambassadors of unity and understanding in an increasingly interconnected world. This is not just a musical apprenticeship; it's a profound voyage of self-discovery and cultural immersion that will resonate throughout their lives. This is an experience that has changed my life and will change their lifes forever. please help us send these students to learn along with me!
