A Global and Modern Expansion of Percussion at Hommocks

The Hommocks Music Department is implementing a new curriculum across the entire department to provide students with improved, innovative and new authentic learning experiences that focus on cultural understanding, a deeper understanding of multicultural traditions and composition through drumming. The World Music Drumming curriculum creates learning opportunities in which students gain a better understanding of rhythm, music and ensemble playing while they learn about other cultures, places and societies. This grant funds the new percussion equipment and instruments needed for the World Music Drumming curriculum to be used across the entire Hommocks music department.
