HIT IT! Percussion Camp Starting Next Week!
“Hit It” percussion camp, for drummers ages 13-18, uses a two-pronged approach to help student percussionists develop the combination of performance and listening skills necessary to be successful.
One of the camp’s focuses is on “classical” percussion instruments such as timpani, snare drum, marimba, cymbals, tambourine and triangle – instruments on which percussionists need proficiency in most school music programs. An equal focus will be placed on gaining skills and understanding on Cuban, Brazilian and African percussion instruments such as congas, bongos, cowbells, shekere, timbales and incorporating them into polyrhythmic patterns characteristic of traditional music’s of those countries.
