How to Make Music “Musically”

Keyboard
Clinic / PerformanceLive

Percussion playing has evolved so much technically over the last few decades. However, there is still that 0.1% that sounds more "musical" than others. In my clinic, I will attempt to explain what being musical is, what being musical involves, and how to make music musically. I will also play examples to demonstrate.
