What is a Positive RePercussions Class Like?
There are multiple classes each day, Tuesday through Sunday. They usually last about 90 minutes. Classes are typically around 10 to 11 a.m. until the mid-afternoon, and then again at around 7 p.m. for the evening classes.
Tickets should be purchased ahead of time. It is usually around $15 for a family, but prices can vary moderately based on the program type and the size of a group.
A single class may have anywhere from three to 25 participants all ready to learn. Depending on the scope of the course, it usually involves some practiced playing.
The instructor will offer clear guidelines, so visitors aren’t senselessly and noisily banging away. The drums are the most common instrument, as the basic conventions of play can realistically be taught in an hour and a half and with a large group.
Visitors will learn basic rhythm patterns, how to achieve different tones, and how to play off the rhythms of others. The instructor will also explain how drumming can reduce stress, relieve anxieties, and act as a powerful tool for emotional stability and well-being.
Overall, you get to learn how to play percussion in a practical way. What better way to complement a vacation getaway?
