5. Brazilian samba: An interactive

of samba. A stick, bottle, block of wood, box, a can of dried
beans and you've got fun for all who desire to play rhythms, dance
and celebrate in the Brazilian tradition. (grades 7 to adult)
Most band-rooms have sufficient implements. I have many instruments
and will talk with you about extras that may be used or needed.
6. Salsa class/workshop: The
history and culture behind the Latin traditions that contribute
to the music we now categorize as "Salsa". From the

these styles. Peter Queal's latest CD production of; Conjunto
Varietal "De Cuba pa' Trinidad" ties in perfectly with
this informative, interactive look at Salsa. (grades 7 to adult)
