Team percussion

In the Team percussion workshop, we play rhythms together on various instruments, such as congas, cajons, djembes and smaller instruments such as bells, claves and shakers. The style varies from South American, salsa and Latin to West African.

When playing rhythms, various exercises are used that make it fun to play as a team: ‘calling’ and answering, breaks and free playing. This also means that you have to pay close attention to your team members to hear what is happening and how you respond to it. We also play with improvisation, disruption, reinforcement and taking initiative. There is room to take on different roles, including ‘steering’ in dynamics and tempo.

The workshop is aimed at beginners, with room for people who can already do a bit more. The host has a lot of experience in playing various percussion instruments and in transferring skills and playing together.
