MUS 1910 Percussion Workshop

(formerly MUS 191)

This course will explore the vast possibilities of sound and rhythm through percussion. Conventional percussion instruments from Africa, South America, Asia and Europe will be used and discussed, as well as non-conventional instruments, as students learn the definition of percussion. Traditional rhythms and techniques are performed in an open drum circle as students learn to create community through rhythm. Ideas for the use of percussion in music therapy are discussed and demonstrated by students.
