The Percussion Workshop is designed for percussion and keyboard instrumentalists who are enrolled members of the Tamworth Con Community Orchestra. The ensemble provides a focused and engaging environment for musicians to develop rhythmic precision, ensemble awareness, and performance confidence through collaborative music-making.
Rehearsals explore a wide range of percussion techniques and instrumental combinations, allowing participants to strengthen timing, coordination, and listening skills. Members engage with vibrant and rhythmically driven repertoire that highlights the expressive and versatile nature of percussion instruments. The workshop format encourages active participation and supports the continued development of both technical and musical skills.
Playing in a percussion ensemble promotes teamwork, responsiveness, and musical communication. Participants learn to contribute effectively within a group while refining their individual performance abilities. This balance of individual growth and ensemble cohesion supports strong musicianship outcomes.
Beyond musical development, the Percussion Workshop fosters a positive sense of camaraderie. Shared rehearsal experiences encourage connection, motivation, and enjoyment, contributing to a supportive learning environment.
The ensemble performs at selected Conservatorium events throughout the year, giving members the opportunity to present their work in public performance contexts. The Percussion Workshop offers a dynamic and rewarding pathway for orchestra members to expand their musical experience through rhythm-based ensemble performance.
Percussion Workshop rehearses on Thursdays from 4:45–5:15 pm at the Tamworth Town Hall
Rehearsals are directed by Jarron McGrane
