Aim of the Workshop: 

The aim of this workshop is to teach the basics of beatboxing, this includes a brief history of beatboxing as a form of music, basic rhythms and sounds, melodic oscillations, how to explore one’s inner sonic potential, building a beatbox routine/performance, how to incorporate beatboxing into singing routines, how beatboxing can be used with flute and wind instruments, and how to beatbox with a band or other musicians

Learning Outcomes

The intended outcomes of this course is to provide a basic introduction to the art of beatboxing, how it can be used on its own as a performance, or as an accompaniment to singing,  playing a wind instrument, or with a band. At the end of the workshops the participants would have tried but not necessarily mastered, a range of beatboxing sounds such as the kick drum, snare drum, high hat, scratching and turntable sounds, as well as understood how to create melodic lip oscillations to enhance beatboxing and singing techniques. This is the basic grammar of beatboxing “boots in cats” “chicken tikka, aloo tiki” etc. In addition, this workshop will help musicians enhance their sonic potential as instruments of sound themselves. In that sense, it should not only help with learning elements and techniques of beatboxing but also with finding their unique voice and building confidence in performances. These are intended outcomes as well. The end of the workshop will be a group performance based on some of the sounds that have been learnt.
