Drumming

With John Milham
$85, ages 7 and up
July 20 – 24, 3:30 – 5:30 pm

In John Milham’s Percussion Camp, students will learn about the different types of percussion and drums from around the world. They will get a chance to play rhythmic games that will build their “inner” sense of rhythm while playing together in a drum circle format. The students will take part in what John calls the “Nature Jam” where the kids will get a chance to create a nature scene using instruments to make sounds of water, wind, rain, thunder, crickets, leaves, trees blowing, and other animal sounds. This is also a great practice in cultivating awareness and concentration. Students will also learn different world rhythms and get to each play different parts together as an ensemble. These exercises develop listening skills and teach how to work together as a group.
