Percussion music "goes green" by utilizing common everyday items and household objects to create a dynamic percussion ensemble. Residency activities will guide students through learning rhythms from around the world including those from West Africa, the Caribbean, and Brazil. Students will not only learn the basics of playing percussion instruments but will also learn more about the power of rhythm and drumming to promote group cooperation, unity, focus, and increased critical listening and concentration skills.
