CLASS DESCRIPTION
Samba Group
This class is dedicated to the study and practice of Brazil's Samba traditions and instrumentation. Class efforts culminate in local performances
Samba Study
This weekly class designed to supplement the samba-group rehearsals. We utilize drum sticks and drum pads to develop snare-drum basics & Brazilian-rhythm fundamentals.
Hand Drumming
These sessions will build hand drumming skills via an examination of Afro Cuban and Brazilian Repertoire (e.g. Bembe, Son, Samba)
Drumset
Using an acoustic drum set we’ll explore essential concepts and grooves. You will walk away knowing how to progress towards your drum-set goals.
Personal instruments, drumsticks, and earplugs are encouraged for all classes but not required (new sticks are available for purchase @$6).
All levels welcome.
