WORKSHOP DETAILS

​

From samba to ciranda and surdo to tamborim! Escola de Bateria  has been all over the UK over the last year and has just returned from Rio with lots of fresh ideas to bring to this Birmingham Weekender!

​

Learn new rhythms, musical arrangements, songs, and percussion instrument techniques, meeting old friends and new. Moving at a medium to fast pace, the workshop day is best suited for those who already play in a bateria/percussion ensemble and other musicians.

 

During the weekender we will be working on bateria arrangements, technique, songs, as well as Roda de Samba.

​

For the bateria sessions percussion instruments include caixa, repique, surdo, tamborim, agogô, chocalho & timba. Please bring your 1st and 2nd bateria instrument choice if possible.

 

For the Roda de Samba session we will all learn a popular song, percussion and cavaco (optional). Percussion instruments include nylon pandeiro, repique de mão, rebolo, reco reco, repique de anel, surdo (with hide head) and cavaco. If you have any of these instruments, please bring them along.
