Drumkit and percussion workshop with Louis Pocock

Exciting and fun workshop incorporating traditional percussion instruments and rhythms with contemporary drum kit grooves.
Drummers and percussionists of all levels will benefit from this workshop, by attaining a broader understanding of the language of rhythm and by developing their ability to play in a multi percussionist set up. Students perform in front of a live audience twice a year. 

Improvisation Workshop with Dee Byrne, Alain Maurel and Katy Russell

​Improvisation is a performance that is not practiced or planned, in particular, it is a piece of music that is created spontaneously. In this new workshop we are putting these skills into practice by playing alongside one another and cultivating new ideas as we go! Improvisation is at the heart of great musicianship. This is a great chance for students of all abilities to Jam and learn the art of improvisation. It is a lot of fun and we encourage students to bring their own ideas to the table...
