Carnival Instruments

Based on instruments used in tradition Brazilian Carnivale Samba schools: Agogo, Snare, Repique, Surdo, Shaker and Tamborim. We build an percussion orchestra and incorporate a fantastic atmosphere to learn music and have fun with friends.

Using the method O Passo (practiced in Brazil and abroad) created by Lucas Ciavatta, Afrobeat brings the alternative way to learn music, percussion and develop skills such teamwork, self confidence, focus, coordination and rhythm.

This methodology makes the student integrates in a quickly and effectively way to the music world. Afrobeat brought this concept of music to Australia, to learning, have fun and make friends in a practical and simple way, making people vibrate with the groove.
