In a Class Session, students will:
• Learn a repertoire based on the group’s interest, including popular songs, multicultural songs and original music.
• Work on proper mallet/stick technique, which is also applicable to other percussion instruments
• Have fun making music as a community. Each song is made up of many parts, which come together synergistically to create a joyful sound.
• Work toward a big performance at the end of the session
