Museum Of Making Music Hosts 3-Day World Beat Summer Camp

On July 28, 29 & 30 the Museum of Making Music hosts its first-ever summer music camp. The three-day percussion camp, for students ages 8 through 18, is a great opportunity for students of all musical levels to learn drum styles from around the world. From calypso to hip-hop and samba to rock, this camp provides students with a chance to experiment and perform on drumset, hand drums and hand percussion.

Led by drummers, authors and educators, Ed Roscetti and John Snider, the camp covers a variety of traditional and hybrid musical styles in both classroom and ensemble settings. Playing in an ensemble gives students a better understanding of the drum & bass relationship, technique, time feel, rhythmic phrasing, song form and improvisation. Each student also has the opportunity to experience leading an ensemble in a World Music setting. This hands-on approach to drumming provides a unique opportunity for students of all levels to come together and communicate through rhythm.

Groups are arranged by age and experience level so they can increase their rhythmic vocabulary in an energetic, interactive and supportive environment. Each day ends with a group ensemble, giving students a chance to jam with all experience levels. The third day of ensemble class concludes with a final performance that family and friends are invited to watch the students showcase their newly developed rhythmic skills.

The cost is $250 per student and includes three days of small group instruction, development of technique, time, time feel, phrasing and song form utilizing the Rhythmic Guide and Five Steps to Musicality concepts. The curriculum is based on concepts from Ed Roscetti's and John Snider's (Hal Leonard Publishing) Book & CD packages. There are also giveaways from Drum Workshop/Pacific Drums, Paiste, Remo, Regal Tip Drumsticks, Vic Firth Drumsticks, Aquarian, Shure and Hal Leonard. Equipment and drumsticks are provided on site. Come and play in the spirit of the groove!
