Latin American Carnival - Percussion

Workshop Description

Thank you for choosing an activity that your child is interested in! This is where you register for PERCUSSION and SINGING. Your daughter will be in a group with a maximum of 12 participants, from grades 2 to 6. They will be led by professional musician Aline Morales. Together, they will spend the sessions playing percussion instruments, writing and composing songs, learning and rehearsing them, and performing them as part of our Latin American Carnival! Their songs will be directly connected to the other two groups focusing on Dancing and Costume Making. This is a great opportunity to offer your child an enriching experience that develops a set of skills enhancing their musical abilities, creativity, and personal growth. This includes: • Crafting rhythms and melodies • Collaboration through co-writing sessions and playing instruments together as one • Managing performance anxiety while developing self-confidence • Working on stage presence and rehearsal discipline Please register below to confirm your daughter's participation in this programme.
