About Sammie
I work with organizations and schools, particularly with teachers, to design presentations that incorporate the art of latin drummimg to the classroom. Illustrations of rhythms and songs from Latin America are featured in presentations with live performance or hands-on workshops that inspire participants to discover the power of music.
