While scraping, shaking and striking a wide variety of instruments, the enthusiasm of Glen “Papa” Wright energizes the classroom as he leads students through a creative musical adventure. Instruments are amusingly introduced to demonstrate basic rhythms, sound effects and melodies. As a culminating activity, students construct their own simple shaker to play in a festive conga dance. Also available for virtual workshops.
