Found Object Percussion with Paul

Monday April 5th, 2021 - 5:30pm - 6:00pm

Online - Register with Eventbrite (Pay what you can)

This is a "Pay What You Can" class. All proceeds will be used to cover the shipping costs of sending donated instruments to the Tocando Music Program in El Paso.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a drummer in a band? Better yet, have you ever wondered how to create your OWN drum at home? This workshop is for you!

In just 30 minutes you will learn how to take basic objects and recycled materials from home and create music on your very own homemade drum kit! Prior to this virtual class we will send you a list of everyday objects to gather and use for the building of your drum. These objects will be things like - old plastic containers, a lid to a jar, a recycled shipping box, etc. - and during the class you will be taught how to set them up like a drum kit! From there you will learn basic drumming rhythms and techniques, all with items you already have lying around the house!

Teaching Guitar Workshop

Monday August 2nd to Friday August 6th, 2021

Brass Bell Music Store - Sign up

The Teaching Guitar Workshops (TGW) were started by members of GAMA, NAMM and NAfME in 1995. The objective: help school music educators start or enhance classroom guitar programs and deliver more music making opportunities to children. Between 1995 and today over 4,000 school music teachers across the United States and Canada have enjoyed the TGW. GAMA’s studies suggest that over 2 million students have learned guitar in schools because of the TGW.
