Join us for an eventful start to the first installment of the Latin Jazz Sessions at Art in the Park\, and surprise yourself with how much you could learn in just a few weeks! Sheet music and basic drumming pattern worksheets will be readily available every week. Everyone is free to join this program\, though some musical experience will greatly help in familiarizing patterns and learning songs. Art in the Park has drums and some instruments available for use\, too\, so don’t be shy – stop by and try it out for yourself.  \nMatthew Hernandez is a proud community arts advocate that has dedicated his work to the enrichment of cultural celebration and literacy through music. Understanding how music shapes and reflects cultural awareness and ambitions\, he recognizes the influence that music has over large groups of individuals that share a common ground in beliefs and expression. The main goal for Matthew is to bring those people together to share the same physical space and strengthen bonds through experiencing the ultimate form of expression that creative outlets\, like music\, allow. Being a source for bringing the community together brings him all the joy in the world\, whether it’s through live performance\, group teaching\, volunteer work\, or even just casual conversation with neighbors and friends.  \nHe currently studies at the Herb Alpert Music Center’s Applied Music Program at Los Angeles City College and has built a reputation for being the musical coordinator and saxophonist for salsa and latin jazz band\, Timba Tumbao. With his band\, he’s performed all across SoCal\, delivering a fun and high energy live latin dance show. He loves what he does because he gets the opportunity to connect with so many amazing communities and share an inclusive experience full of dancing\, smiles\, and fun memories. “Music is a language without words\, it speaks in only profound emotion and true expression.”  \nLets help keep each other healthy please stay home if you have any flu like or COVID symptoms.  \ncheck our calendar at  artinthepark.org for updates \nQuestions email info@artintheparkla.org URL:https://artintheparkla.org/event/latin-jazz-sessions-15/ LOCATION:Art in the Park\, 5568 Via Marisol Avenue\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90042\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://artintheparkla.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240429T151500 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240429T160000 DTSTAMP:20260406T005616 CREATED:20231001T193002Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240408T185243Z UID:2878-1714403700-1714406400@artintheparkla.org SUMMARY:Latin Percussion Lab DESCRIPTION:Latin Percussion Lab with Matthew Hernandez \nMondays (check site for updates) \n 3:15 pm – 4:00 pm  K – 5 grade \nMatthew will be at Art in the Park leading  Latin Percussion Lab and Latin Jazz Sessions starting Monday\, February 12.
