Luminous Music offer a series of highly detailed, hands on explorations of world music rhythms, instruments and
cultural expectations. Cross Culture World Percussion Music workshops allow
students to explore ways in which world percussion music has influenced
musicians and composers in all fields of music, across all cultures. Workshops can include playing the instruments of the Indonesian Gamelan
Orchestra, or making music on many of our high quality percussion instruments
originating from various world cultures.
These programmes can be run for many age groups: Primary 10-12, Secondary
schools, at College level, and Community adult groups.
Using a selection of different drums from Africa, Latin America, Turkey and
North Africa, participants use their hands to coax out the tonalities from the
instruments. It is an instant orchestra of drums yet requires participants to
quickly develop special coordination skills so that they can decode a series of
core rhythms and all play together.
A one-hour workshop is a dynamic taster for hand drumming, with a high level of
excitement. Two hours takes participants a little deeper, towards making their
own short compositions.
A multi-session programme where participants return for six + sessions as they
open the door to handling unique instruments and addressing creative
challenges. Individuals work in small groups to make their own music. It's a
bit noisy!! and a large space is required. These sessions can integrate some of your cupboards full of instruments (if you
have them) along with the hand made instruments from our own collection.
Sessions are for up to 30 people, and allow individuals the use of a wide range
of pitched and unpitched percussion instruments to explore the ideas of the
workshop. Six 90 miinute sessions would be ideal, and can bring musical development with
subtlety. Small demonstrations and performances occur in each session.
Performance at the end.
Primary 5-7, Secondary 1-2, Adult, Community, ASN.
Limit: 15 - 20 participants. 1 - 2 hour, half and full day sessions.
