Percussion Discussion Field Trip
Percussion Discussion with Ken Bergmann
What do you get when you combine 1,600 third graders, a "smashing spectacle" of drums, cowbells, chairs and all the flash one would expect from a drummer gone amok? A little Percussion Discussion. This morning the Antioch Music Foundation has invited all the third graders in the Antioch Unified School District to learn more about percussion from the master Ken Bergmann.
In his Percussion Discussion show Bergmann incorporates instruments from around the globe in a popular family-oriented show featuring a romp through the sound effects of Hollywood and a unique look at the computer age.
"The show will inspire these kids to become musically active. They will leave the theater experimenting with sounds and reliving the many musical moments and the humor of the show," Bergmann said. "I have run in to kids several years after they see the show and they still remember the jokes and the bits."
During the one-hour show students will hear all styles of music, including swing, Latin, jazz, rap and rock, Bergmann says he even has added some Scott Joplin ragtime and the Baroque music of J.S. Bach. While it looks like he's just a guy sitting in front of a really impressive drum set, Bergmann utilizes many instruments that students are already familiar with like cowbells, triangles and wood blocks, as well as many they might not have seen before. He uses humor to show off his rosewood marimba, cabasa and gankogui to help children remember what the unfamiliar instruments are well into the future.
