Throughout the session, students will:
✨ Refine ensemble awareness and listening skills
✨ Strengthen rhythmic accuracy and coordination
✨ Explore more complex patterns and musical textures
✨ Develop confidence performing within a group setting
✨ Experience the energy and discipline of a real ensemble environment

This workshop is designed for students ready to build on their existing skills, challenge themselves musically, and connect with other percussionists in a dynamic, hands-on setting.

The goal is to make music together at a higher level, deepen coordination, and enjoy the process of playing in an ensemble.

Drums are an extension of your body, when your rhythm is internalised, your playing becomes effortless and expressive.
