Thursday August 6th

Latin Percussion Lab 3:30pm - 4:15pm

This program is designed to introduce basic rhythms and counting exercises for students through the use of hand percussion and Afro-Latin drumming techniques. Students will have a chance to learn all about essential elements in Latin music like clave, tumbao, and basic conga tones. There will be an introduction to different types of instruments each week as well as a song of the week by various salsa and cha cha icons. This will be a very fun and engaging drumming course!

Latin Jazz Sessions 4:30pm - 6:50pm

This weekly band is an introduction to the many popular Latin styles of music from slow and intimate cha cha and boleros to fast paced and high energy salsa, cumbia, and merengue. Join us for an eventful start to the first installment of the Latin Jazz Sessions at Art in the Park, and surprise yourself with how much you could learn in just a few weeks! Sheet music and basic drumming pattern worksheets will be readily available every week. Everyone is free to join this program, though some musical experience will greatly help in familiarizing patterns and learning songs. Art in the Park has drums and some instruments available for use, too, so don’t be shy – stop by and try it out for yourself. 

These workshops are presented in partnership with Art in the Park and Neighborhood Music School.
