What impulse makes us musicians? From where does the need to share that impulse come from? What role does percussion play from a bendir, tombak, tambourine, bass drum, darbuka or a spoon or two rattles within the classical and/or folkloric repertoire of the Eastern Mediterranean? A seminar dedicated to help understand not only the treatment of percussion but also the respectful musicality of this repertoire and those who want to share through their musical instrument, percussion or not, these concepts. 

It is not necessary to have reading of musical notation.

The main language of the seminar will be Spanish with an English translator.
