Samba in Groups

The session starts with a short lively demonstration from the Big Beat drummers, performing a dynamic Samba piece that introduces the forthcoming event that guarantees an awakening response.

BODY PERCUSSION WARM-UP (optional)
Two lines of people face up to each other and using a very simple process of body percussion will interact with their opposite number.
Co-operation with their new found friend and fun concentration culminates in a finale of hand claps, chest beating, clicking fingers and lots of hilarity!

  Samba drumming in groups

  • The group is divided into smaller groups

  • Each group has its own Samba tutor

  • After only 1 hour they will be playing a coherent Samba Reggae piece complete with musical calls and breaks!

  • All the groups come back together and each one presents their newly found drumming skills

  • The finale is a massed drumming session with all groups playing as one


This is great for a larger group that can be separated into any number of smaller combinations.
The energy and sound that is eventually achieved in the finale is phenomenal!
