WORKSHOP: This one day workshop invites you to take part in exciting music activities that will
give students a chance to improve their music skills and have a great day whilst doing so.
Throughout the day, students will engage in music games, improvisation, movement,
composition and performance on tuned and untuned percussion instruments. Activities will
allow them to think creatively and apply their musical skills through individual, partner and
group work, as well as group performances. Students will be able to take learned material and
further develop it themselves using percussion instruments and there will be opportunities for
students to be extended in activities. By the end of the day, they will have gained further
understanding of musical concepts and techniques, have worked creatively, and leave with a
range of new musical ideas.
