Composure & Performance:
Our class formed a percussion ensemble and performed an arrangement of the Samba Batucada at Musicale. We started practice numerous weeks before the actual performance and found that it changed each lesson we practiced it adding dynamics and different instruments to alter the overall tonal quality of the piece. The instruments used were all indefinite pitch creating no more than one sound although it could be altered through dynamics and how you hit the instrument as we soon found out after a bit of practice.
