Facilitator - Paul Murphy

Ladies and gentleman! Boys and girls! Musicians of all ages! Let’s get in the Groove!

Starting this fall Rock City is introducing the Wood Shed Percussion Ensemble and is wide open for students of all ages and skill level. Play guitar? Sing? Bass? Drums? Keys? Doesn’t matter everyone needs rhythm and everyone is welcome.

This group has a focus in rhythm, ensemble playing, musicianship and improvisation, all of which are key stones for musical development. Our instruments will be percussion based, including anything that thumps, bangs, clangs, or dings. The music will be varied and influenced by world cultures and music such as Africa, India, Latin America, Ireland, North American and the like. In addition there will be a LIVE performance to showcase the accomplishments and musical integrity of these aspiring and developing musicians.....All hands get bragging rights!

My advice is to sign up! Check ego’s and nerves at the door & don’t miss the groove anymore!  Remember...  ‘Play it like you mean it!’

WARNING!!

Drumming has been known to: boost immunity increase blood flow, stamina, and endurance; build coordination and confidence; decrease stress and increase brain activity; known to be a great team builder and increase social interaction, build inner sense of rhythm and time, make you a better musician, and inspires fun!
