Targeting youth with disabilities, Instituto TIM Battery will meet face-to-face today (2) for the first time since the start of the pandemic, a little over two years ago. The band will be led by drummer Mangueirinha, a percussionist known for his work with Naná Vasconcelos and Carlinhos Brown, and drummer of the Cordão do Boitatá block.
The free rehearsal and public rehearsal begins at 11:00 am at Centro da Música Carioca Artur da Távola in Tijuca, north of Rio de Janeiro. The presentations will also feature monitor musicians and interpreters of the Brazilian Sign Language (Libra).
The Instituto TIM Drum was founded in 2010 as part of the TIM Música nas Escolas project to encourage deaf children and adolescents to start with music using percussion instruments from the drums of a samba school.
As of 2013, the group was also open to children and teenagers with or without other disabilities.
Percussion, singing and dance workshops are offered in the project. Students learn the drumstick technique and play interactive games, exploring the basics of attention, concentration, perception and rhythm, timing and pacing.
In addition to the rehearsal this Saturday, two more open rehearsals are scheduled for April 9 and 16. On April 30, the project will be the closing event of the 2021/2022 season. Performances are always at 10 am at Artur da Távola Music Center.
The Instituto TIM Battery project is run by Novo Traço Entretenimento in partnership with the TIM Institute under the State Cultural Promotion Law.
