David Lane

From Humming to Mouth Drumming
In this interactive workshop, David will lead students through vocal gymnastics with fun and silly exercises, instrument imitation, and beatboxing. Participants will experiment making sounds with their mouth on their own, and share with the group within their own comfort level. After learning an array of individual sounds, the group with combine them to beatbox along with an actual song. Expect to be laughing a lot as you make sounds you’ve never made before!

You Can Beatbox!
David kicks off this high-energy workshop with a short beatboxing performance, before students begin learning to make a variety of beatbox noises of their own! Students will learn about real percussion instruments, and use their critical ear to breakdown how beats are constructed in different styles of music. The workshop culminates in the students working together to apply the beatboxing basics they learned to a song of their choosing.
