AMAZING AMERICAS music workshop

This workshop offers a hands-on journey from America’s north, making mountain music in Appalachia, trying traditional First Nation (Native American) music and dance, then heading south to sample Peruvian percussion and the sizzle of Brazil’s samba beats and Capoeira!

This can lead to a dynamic performance piece for parents when we have a class to work with for the day.
