WORKSHOPS
FOR...

 


•    Involvement in and enjoyment of the music by participants is at the core of what we do.

•    We place a strong emphasis on the shared ownership of music by the group.

•    Musicality, percussive technique, musical context and group dynamics are introduced  within  
      the  music

 

How we do it...

  • Initially there is a general introduction to the music and instruments.

  • We use progressive rhythm games to focus the group and introduce basic musical concepts.

  • We then introduce particular grooves for each instrument and introduce the basic technique needed to play.

  • When the fundamentals are established we allocate instruments and begin to play. 

  • We will also teach some musical breaks and introduce an arrangement for the piece depending on the group’s progress
