Join us for a week of playing the percussion music of Brazil! During this week students will learn how to play percussion instruments found in a typical escola de samba (samba performing group) and prepare music for an end-of-week concert. The week will feature rehearsals, guest speakers, and listening sessions all centered around Brazilian percussion. Students will learn about Brazilian culture, Carnaval, and the techniques needed to perform the popular styles of Brazilian percussion, including samba batucada, maracatu, Samba Afro, and more! Prerequisite: Some percussion experience is required. Please contact adobos@sstx.org with any questions.
