TESTIMONIALS

“I’ve taken a number of very useful and engaging lessons via Skype with Renato Martins on both udu and cajon. He has a unique approach to playing cajon with a brush which can be immediately adapted to many playing situations. His ability to play udu is extraordinary and his teaching style is relaxed, patient, supportive and always with a dose of humor. I look forward to every lesson.”

I found Renato Martins on the internet. I immediately got interested in learning his cajon with brush techniques and exploring this instrument’s possibilities to the maximum. I contacted Renato and ended up taking some skype lessons. Renato’s cajon method and lessons are very simple and rational, and this technique can be applied in all musical genres. Great teaching that supports music life!

Udu Lessons

The UDU was originated by the Igbo and Hausa people of Nigeria. Actually being a water jug with one more hole, the UDU was played by women for ceremonial uses. Usually the Udu is made of clay and it is widely used by percussionists in different music styles. The instrument is played by hand and produces a special and unique bass sound by quickly hitting the big hole. Furthermore the whole corpus can be played by fingers.

Renato Martins is considered an udu master by the specialized media. Learn Renato’s original udu drum technique.
