Workshop-to-Performance

Workshop-to-Performance includes a series of hands-on drumming workshops for select groups of students who perform what they learned at a school-wide assembly at the conclusion of the program. During the workshop portion of the program, students learn a unique ensemble piece, which can include exciting rhythms, drum breaks and drum solos. By the end of the workshops, each student group is ready to showcase their ensemble piece at the final performance with Dancing Drum. This a perfect program for students who enjoy drumming and to be put in the spotlight!
