This series is for anyone who wants to delve into all kinds of rhythms on a rich array of percussion instruments.

We will play with shaking shakers, with congas and cajons, with sticks on cowbells and woodblocks with rythms from Colombian Cumbia, Brazilian Samba and contemporary Pop grooves and more: Afrobeat, balkan...

It will be a quirky mix tailored to the group.

At the end of the series, you will get the chance to perform at the WISPER Presentation Days (May 22 - 23 - 24)

The course focuses mainly on rhythm and groove, but even if you play a wind instrument, you are welcome to join in if you want to shake things up!

Do you play a different instrument but are also interested? Just send an e-mail to reindert@wisper.be with which instrument you would like to join.

Practical

WISPER has some congas, djembe's and smaller percussion instruments of its own, but you are definitely welcome to bring your own percussion instruments!

Other musicians have to bring their own instrument.

Level of experience

Level 1-2: Percussionists need no previous knowledge. Wind players need basic knowledge of their instrument.
