Billy Martin will be conducting classes that focus on creative
rhythmic interplay and collective improvising. Reading material
will be provided based on his Stridulations (miniature percussion
compositions for bamboo and woodblocks). No previous musical
reading experience required. ANYONE can read this simple notation.
Great for all musicians, bands, dancers, and anyone else that
