Cuba
June 27 to July 2, 2011

the last five years, The Contemporary Music Project has been conducting
a Latin percussion program in Morelia Mexico. This
year, we are moving it to Oak Park, IL!
Daily Schedule –– 9
AM. Facilities open. Master Classes As part of the program. there will be a master class on different aspects of Cuban percussion each afternoon at 2:30 PM given by the faculty or by other guest artists. These will also be open to the general public for a fee of $5. Private Lessons Program participants are encouraged to set up private lessons with any of the faculty members in the afternoon between 4 and 6 PM. The cost of these lessons are not included in the tuition and must be arranged with the teacher. These lessons are available only to participants in the program.
Class Offerings
The number of openings listed on the site will change as people register and the program fills up. The exact structure of the classes will depend on the levels and collective interests of the participants. While we encourage each participant to pick their class and teacher, the faculty reserves the right of final class placement. In other words, if the teacher believes you are in the wrong class, you will be asked to change to another group. Downtown Chicago is ten minutes away by car or cab, so we will have a list of local events for those who wish to explore the city in the evening.
The Faculty
Site Facilities The
program will be held at The Nineteenth Century Club Instruments CMP will provide congas, timbales, and drum sets,
