Students will drum, sing, and dance, learning styles from West Africa, primarily Ghana. Utilizing the same oral tradition that Ghanaian children use to acquire culture, this class features high energy, community-building listening skills to achieve the West African elements of poly-rhythm, drum language, and call and response. the course yields experiential insights into West African cultures. This connective music making is for everyone; the ensemble is open to the whole MSU Community - no pre-requisites. (Reading music notation is not involved and is not necessary.)
