Sounds Samba

About Sounds Samba

The Samba Band originates from Brazil and creates a unique, vibrant carnival sound. Using surdos, repeniques, cuicas, tamborims, agogos and a variety of maracas, these well-structured and informative sessions give the children a wonderful taste of Brazilian music.

Completely hands-on, every child has an instrument and will play as part of a percussion orchestra, experience multi-rhythmic, multi-textured pieces. The ideas are simple but the result is extremely effective. Teachers are of course very welcome to join in!

The workshops are suitable for all ages and key stages and can cater for up to 60 per group. Sessions last 30 minutes and can easily be combined with other workshops in the course of the same day.
