Hi! My name is John Arrucci, and I am a percussionist and composer. I am looking forward to joining the MCW faculty this fall. I will be presenting a percussion sampler class called World Percussion Workshop which will have three separate modules – Samba Drumming, West African Drumming and The Art of Improvisation (through the drum circle). You can take one, two, or all three modules, and there are no pre-requisites for any of them (beginners are very welcome). The modules will all cultivate a strong sense of “inner pulse,” listening, creativity and ensemble playing. My hope is that all participants leave the class feeling confident in their own creative potential, sense of rhythm and ability to have a lot of fun with music!
In addition to the workshop, I will also be offering private lessons on percussion instruments from a variety of traditions from around the world (classical orchestra percussion, drumset, Afro-Cuban, Afro-Brazilian, West African). My private lessons are structured to address the individual student’s needs and goals with an emphasis on relaxed movement, attention to sound production , phrasing and musical expression. I am excited about meeting lots of new people and being part of the MCW community.
