I used to play drums when i was a teenager until my early 20’s. Four years ago i started playing on a regular basis. I formed a swing band - “The Floy Joy” and we have have been playing in many places in Israel and also we did a small tour in denmark. Next week were gonna play swing at a gig at the “Knesset” the Legislative house of the israeli government, in their 70 years celebrations.
As a dance teacher I think that being a musician is very helpful. It gives me a deeper perspective of swing music and the history. In our classes we try to put an emphasis of the music, the structure, the instruments, the dynamics etc.
You are all set!
Your first Culture Weekly will arrive this week.
