Fun With Percussion

Ready to try something new?  Journey into the jungle and sound like a rainforest!  This class introduces the basics of drumming, including learning how to keep the beat, and play as a group.  Once comfortable with the basics, the class will start drumming and grooving to the sound of jungle drums. This is a fun, hands-on class that will help improve your ability with other instruments, not just drums.  Bring hand drums and percussion instruments if you have them. Suitable for ages 10 to 15 years.
