WEDNESDAYS ON THE BEAT

In October and November, we had the project Wednesdays On the Beat, a masterclass series in which students and professors covered various themes. The project received Fernando Amaro, Vera Figueiredo, Fabiana Fonseca, Bruna Barone, Gabriel Martins, Flauzilino Junior e Daniel Baeder, a former IBVF´s student which besides a solid career in the Instrumental music scene is playing for almost one year at the OVO show by the Cirque Du Soleil.

In 2010, the WEDNESDAYS ON THE BEAT will be back.

LEARNING TOOLS

In november, the drummer Daniel Oliveira and the sound engineer Marcus Lyra ministered at the IBVF THE DRUMSET RECORDING COURSE. To compose the study planning for the IBVF´s and students abroad, other courses will be offered in 2010.

IBVF SHOW - DRUMMERS' MEETING POINT

On November the 22nd at the Café Piu Piu in São Paulo, we had the IBVF SHOW, the annual student´s concert.

The drummers came to the stage performing with play-alongs, in a concert environment.

The IBVF Show is an event whic is awaited by the students with the greatest expectations due to the fact they perform for a very demmanding audience: other drummers, family and friends.

Its also a great opportunuty to a amateur student to play with a very professional structure.

Starting on March 2010, the percussionist Julio Cesar will start to teach the "Samba Instrument´s" course at the IBVF. It will cover the samba origins, specific techniques to every instrument, ensembles and other related subjects.

In the year 2009, we resumed The Batuka! Brasil, which was on hold for three years. It's 11th edition took place at the Ibirapuera Auditorium, in São Paulo. Clayton Cameron (USA) - backed by Chico Willcox (bass) and Erik Escobar (piano) -, The Tribores, Julio Cesar Grupo, Zoro (USA), Daniel Oliveira, Vera Figueiredo Quarteto - with Chico Willcox (bass), Fábio Gouvêa (flute/guitar) and Beto Corrêa (keyboards), Edgar Silva and Gabriel Martins performed in this event which always look forward to a a cultural interchange and a divulgation of the Brazilian music. It also held the National Drummer´s Contest with the contenders Darlan Marley (RN), Éder Medeiros (SC), Vinícius Lordellos (PR) and the winner; Isaias Alves (MA).
