What happens during a session?
We provide a variety of percussion instruments from bass drums to bells to create a carnival Samba Band. Katie will some instruments that are right for your needs and encourage everybody to stand during the sessions but you can sit when needed. We play a variety of rhythmic pieces together, using different rhythms layered over each other, forming a percussion orchestra. We may also do exercises to build on confidence and listening skills. The drumming can be loud so if you do not enjoy loud noises then this is probably not the group for you. We supply ear plugs.
Now looking for new recruits!
PLEASE COMPLETE THE BELOW FORM SO WE KNOW TO EXPECT YOU.
