Beatboxing basics

Ever thought about making music with your mouth… in a completely different way?
Beatboxing is all about using just your mouth to mimic instruments, especially percussion. This a cappella art form blends singing, vocal percussion, instrument sounds and voice effects into one – and in fact, it’s the only vocal discipline that brings all these elements together.
In this atelier, you’ll learn how to make basic sounds, create both simple and complex rhythms, produce voice effects and use the microphone.
