Percussion
The percussion workshops focus on the rhythm capital of the world; BRAZIL!.
Based on the adage “It takes an entire village to raise a child”, Chad will show
that each one of us has an important role in the success of the group. Students will work
together by watching and listening to learn about traditional Brazilian rhythms such as samba,
afro-bloco, capoeira and forrô.
