Workshop program

• Introductions, find out peoples' experiences
• The instruments, origin, history, techniques and treatment
• Rhythm, timing and counting
• Make a song, start, stop, break and a chorus
  Performing, relaxing, smiling and getting excited.

This workshop aims to show people how to make instruments from recycled materials.

Experimenting is an important skill, which can lead to exiting new inventions and develop creativity. So this is encouraged. Discussion is also an important part of the workshop - talking about peoples' ideas: why they think that and how could we change it or make it better, or maybe things you’ve tried which didn’t work at all.
The aim is to make it sound good, have fun and reduce waste.

The short workshop concentrates on finding things and making music. Timing, memorising, melody, song. Kai brings his best sounding junk and with hands and sticks we make the party thump 100min
