About Erik
Online only · Moscow time (UTC+3) · lessons in English or Russian
My name is Erik Markovskii — percussionist, composer and teacher with more than 15 years of teaching and over 1,000 students, adults and children. My djembe style is a fusion: traditional African rhythms mixed with ideas from many other traditions and modern groove.
I'm the founder of the world fusion ensemble Tuuli, so building grooves that work with other musicians is part of my everyday playing — and that's what I teach.
Background: a degree in psychology and education, 20 years on stage, and theatre music nominated for the Golden Mask, Russia's national theatre award (Best Composer).

Who it's for:
