"Where are the drums?" You might find yourself asking this when singers in vocal ensembles mimic the sounds of drums like the hi-hat, snare and bass drum. In beatboxing, all these sounds are made using just the mouth, tongue, throat, and nose. In this workshop, you'll learn the basics of beatboxing, practice together, and get useful tips for practicing on your own at home.
