Foot Percussion for Young Adults: at the Somers Library

Foot Percussion for Young Adults: Thursday, July 9th 5 pm - 6 pm

Sponsored by the Friends of the Somers Library. Please join us in a fun filled presentation by Jay Mankita, an engaging performance artist, who plays many instruments including the guitar, keyboard and recycled foot percussion. After a short presentation, participants will sit around with our stuff, and build percussion instruments that we can play with our feet. We’ll explore some basic rhythms, and jam. Jay will be on hand to come around and guide the process.

Please bring with you the following: Pots, pans, scrap wood and metal, broken musical gear, rubber bands, velcro, springs, spoons, marbles, tubes, and other things that ring, chime, bang, thwack, swish, bump, and boom.

Do NOT bring items that have splinters, rusty metal, sharp edges, heavy metal coatings, toxic chemicals, or anything else potentially dangerous!

This program is geared to kids entering 5th grade and up! Registration is required. Please sign up on our events calendar on our website (www.somerslibrary.org ) or call or email us to register (914-232-5717 ~ somers@wlsmail.org)
