Build Your Own Percussion Band
Build some drums and learn about the percussion family of instruments!
Kids will learn how percussion instruments produce and amplify sounds as they construct a marching band drum trio, rainstick, den den daiko, & snare drum. Decorating will be encouraged! We’ll play a few rhythm games and learn the basics of composing rhythmic patterns. Come to 1 or all sessions!
1 Your Guide
I’ve worked as an educator for over 20 years in various roles from music teacher to outdoor educator. Through my experiences as a teacher and an adoptive parent, I’ve become an advocate for trauma-informed and culturally-safe education. I’m also a learning consultant at SelfDesign! I’m truly a lifelong learner. As an adult I’ve studied French, oceanography, entomology and I’m an avid beachcomber, gardener, reader and knitter. I live on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia with my two teenagers, mother, two cats and three dogs. Everyone in my family plays instruments. I play flute, piano, voice, ukulele and recorder. My kids play violin, piano, percussion and clarinet. My mom is a piano teacher and plays harpsichord. I strongly believe that with the right tools, adaptations and accommodations, we can all experience the world in meaningful ways.
