Tony Vacca is an internationally renowned percussionist and composer whose live performances are visually stunning and musically simply astounding. He has performed and/or recorded with pop icon Sting, with Afro Pop giant Baaba Maal, and with Jazz legends Yusef Lateef and Don Cherry. His music has taken him to festivals and to schools throughout America, as well as to Africa and Europe. Tony's Math of Rhythm is all about the mathematics involved when we create rhythmic patterns in our music. Tony's definition of Math? "Mathematics is a system of patterns from which we can create and discover other unforeseeable patterns." He will use large graph paper charts to illustrate what the students learn from their hands-on instruction. With each grade level Tony goes into greater detail on how the patterns students play their increasingly complex patterns. At the end of this one hour session students can perform the parts they have learned in an elaborate song.
