This series is designed for Musicians ages 7-12 interested in ensemble performance to enjoy weekly vocal and instrumental ensemble music making in a joyous, non-competitive atmosphere culminating in a performance for friends and family. Included are vocal music, hand percussion, mallet percussion, and basic music theory. The weekly rehearsals will build technical facility and augment musicianship while emphasizing creativity, improvisation and collaboration. In addition to voice and percussion study, a keyboard, guitar and electric bass are available upon request to musicians with at least one year of prior experience, and those who study woodwind, brass or string instruments are invited to bring them to the rehearsals as well.
