Experience has shown that profound rhythmic orientation can be achieved more easily by using the body itself as the main instrument. In TaKeTiNa, using the body as the main instrument, participants can encounter rhythm directly and intensely. Through vocalization, clapping, and stepping, they are guided into three separate rhythmic layers.

Learning rhythm and music with the TaKeTiNa process always means learning about life, too. Everything that hinders our life is reflected during the process as rhythmic disability and can be transformed by the rhythmic evolution which unfolds in TaKeTiNa. The mind becomes silent and one\\\'s core being is allowed to surface.   TaKeTiNa is a radically new vision of rhythm which supplements existing knowledge with new approaches to create an inexhaustible resource for learning drums, arranging, and composing music. Through TaKeTiNa, the student gains direct access to the rhythmic worlds of Africa, Asia, and Latin America which, in turn, leads to increased competence and creativity in the related rhythms of classical music, jazz, and hip hop.
