Inspirational percussion instruments for Joey’s Jive song
During Covid, and now as I write this Melbourne’s second lockdown, I’ve been in a beautiful create space with all kinds of inspirational percussion instruments.
For over 3 years I’ve wanted to compose percussion pieces for school workshops, music teachers and music schools and students. And now I feel that I’m in a space to do this – which I’m really grateful to have the opportunity.
Just a few weeks ago I bought 3 xylophones of different sizes. I love these melodic instruments; they sound beautiful and feel great to play. I definitely wanted to include them for my very first music compositions for schools. This is a creative project that I hope to include a song written, recorded, and composed for each month for the next 6 months. Let’s see how I go…
Joey’s Jive includes all kinds of hand drums such as the African djembe, Remo congas, dundun drums, 32 inch concert drum (huge sound), xylophones, sound healing instruments I include with my online drumming meditation course and lots more. The song is written in 6/8, and I’ve composed it so anyone over 6 years of age can learn and play. For those who want to delve deeper into musicality in groups, I include these instruments in my teacher trainings and Positive Music drum circle facilitator trainings in Melbourne. I great idea to bring more melody into facilitating drum circles, classroom and community drumming groups.
