MUS 134 - World Beats: Group Percussion

3 hours
This class is an introduction to playing percussion instruments. We will cover fundamental percussion techniques (hand drumming technique and stick technique) on some of the more common percussion instruments, including conga, djembe, cowbells, shakers, drums, etc. Students will learn to understand, discern, and perform a variety of rhythms and parts from all over the world in a group context. While listening carefully to and interacting musically with their fellow ensemble members, students will discover a rewarding means of musical self expression (and group expression) via percussion. No experience is needed.

This course will satisfy the core area requirement in fine arts.
