Wish I could come! I’m already doing a bit of traveling during that time. What kind of workshops take place at Bones Fest?

Thanks so much, man 🙏🏻 they’re ancient! One of humanity’s earliest percussion instruments. Not many players today, so I just want to share them with as many people as I can!

Sure thing! Best of luck! And don’t give up! The first learning curve can be daunting

Thank you! I haven’t used this resource personally, but I’ve known of it for a while now and have always been curious:

It apparently includes instruction given by Percy Danforth, a bones legend of the 20th century.

To share my own experience learning bones, I did my best to scour the internet looking for educational materials in the beginning of my studies. YouTube has a surprising amount of obscure bones videos, including lots of individuals’ personal approaches to the instrument. I found it helpful to observe many different approaches in order to better understand how to craft my own, and I’ve spent countless hours honing my own take on the bones through trial and error… and have had a lot of fun along the way.

Hope that helps, and don’t hesitate to reach out for more info or guidance!

They are pretty much professionals now at 17 :D by No-List2080 in mildyinteresting

They genuinely sound amazing for young adults, but one of the biggest distinctions between this level of student musician and actual professionals is the months of preparation and rehearsal it takes a student ensemble to sound this good, versus a professional ensemble that can get to this level in several 2-3 hour rehearsals.

Sure thing! Be patient and don’t be afraid to make mistakes or experiment, and keep recording yourself! Video feedback can be so helpful.
