Krista Holland, Founder of The FRAME DRUMMING ACADEMY and its research branch, The SACRED DRUMMING ACADEMY, is a multifaceted teacher, frame drummer, and independent researcher on the frame drum's ancient global and poly-cultural history. 

 Krista studied the art and practice of frame drumming along with the rituals, myths, and ancient drum history with her primary teacher and mentor, the late Layne Redmond, author of "When the Drummers Were Women," for 14 years until Layne's passing. Krista has since developed a teaching methodology that weaves together a rich tapestry of teachings on frame drumming. 

 The FRAME DRUMMING ACADEMY combines the technical aspect of playing the frame drum, insights into the drum's mythic history, and modern research on the health benefits and life-affirming practice of recreational music-making, rhythm, and sound healing. 

 Krista teaches a diverse global student body of people interested in learning the art of frame drumming and its fascinating history as an instrument for sound healing, self-expression, musicality, ceremony, meditation, and connection.
