JAKA STRAJNAR
Academic musician percussionist and professor of percussion
ABOUT ME
I am an academically trained percussionist and professor of percussion. I studied classical percussion at the Academy of Music of the University of Ljubljana and jazz percussion at the Carinthian State Conservatory in Klagenfurt.
As an author, I have published numerous professional books that have been translated into English and German. I have also developed several online cajon courses as well as a wide range of digital training programs for educators and childcare professionals.
Across Slovenia and abroad, I lead percussion workshops, seminars, and team-building programs for schools, organizations, and companies. In addition to my educational work, I actively perform in various musical ensembles.
