We e going to have over 125 djembe players. If 70 of them assess themselves as level 3 and there are only 25 spaces per workshop, how do we know who should go up or down a level?
2. The level you consider yourself to be is often relative to those you regularly drum with i.e. an advanced player at home might be intermediate/advanced at a camp. So you might assess yourself as level 3, when actually you are level 2 relative to everyone at ABC. 3. Drumming in classes with others of a similar level means that the whole group can enjoy learning together (instead of struggling to keep up / finding it too easy or being in a class slowed down by too many mixed levels). 4. All the African Beats organisers are regular workshop / camp attendees with over 12 years of experience. We have sat in workshops from being beginners to becoming more advanced and know what the problems are e.g. 100 djembe players of mixed ability in one workshop! 5. Although there were some problems with the process when we first did this at ABC 2009, the comments we received on the feedback forms was extremely positive.
