The Bodojo Bodhran Academy has been created as a growing resource for bodojo members at all levels of their bodhran journey.

The Academy is a collection of articles and tutorials by members starting from supporting and striking the drum, holding the stick through to more advanced technical and solo approaches. There are often many ways of achieving the same effect.

The academy content will grow and expand over the years. It will respond to the user's need for information, the development of the drum, its playing styles and inevitably the articles that are submitted.

The site will always be under construction and will never be wholly correct or complete.
