Why Beatboxing and Strings?

  • Beatboxing transcends cultural boundaries, drawing inspiration from diverse musical traditions,
    including African drumming, Latin percussion, and electronic dance music. By appreciating these
    cross-cultural connections, students and teachers broaden their rhythmic vocabulary and gain a
    global perspective on music.
  • Beatboxing bridges the gap between oral traditions such as Suzuki and rote education and
    traditional written notation used in traditional western classical education.
  • Beatboxing encourages collaboration and stimulates creativity: add Beatboxing to existing
    repertoire or encourage interdisciplinary projects with other academic subjects.
  • Oh, and it鈥檚 just plain FUN - and AWESOME!
