Merza Percussion


September 19, 2023

Hi everyone,

This summer I went to Merza Percussion, a summer camp about percussion with teachers from all parts from Galicia where we did lots of types of percussion like Brazilian percussion or Galician percussion that is also called folk percussion.

In Merza Percuission I met people from all parts of Spain, like Miguel and Roberto who they were from Murcia or Hector and Jorge who they were from Zamora. Also in the teachers' roster was a teacher from the Netherlands called Bence Major.

At the beginning of the day after breakfast we had folk class with the teacher Mario Cortizo, then we had contemporary class with Pablo Paz and the foundator Vincent Zaragoza .We had a break before the next class that was corporal percussion with Frank Mark and the last class we had Brazilian percussion with Andrés Rivero. And that was all for the morning. In the afternoon we had different activities depending the day, like the day that we got Afro-Cuban class. At night we had a concert for percussion groups from all Galicia.

I think that the camp was the best experience in my summer  so I decided post it  in the blog.

Have a nice summer

    It sounds like a great experience, Mario. Really cool to meet people from all over the world and to learn about music from all over as well.

What do you want to be when you're older?

This term my students have been learning about jobs and work vocabulary. We thought about the question: what do you want to be when you are older? Here are the many different and exciting jobs that these young people want to do when they grow up! The most popular job choice was teacher. I think it's great that so many people want to work with kids and share and help and teach! Being a footballer was another popular choice. You'll need to train hard guys! Two students want to be games designers. I love the mix of programming skills and creativity. And then we had two biologists (one of them specialising in ants - a myrmecologist!) Next up, two engineering-type jobs - an engineer and a technological designer. And to finish our dream jobs tour, we have a doctor, a tour guide and a fashion designer! Good luck to all of you! But also, don't worry about it too much. You are young, your ideas and dreams can change. Do what you love and study hard (but not too hard!)

My English Summer Camp

Hi everyone! This summer I went to Frankfurt summer camp with my brother Sunway. The English class was very cool. We played lots of English games, and German games.  I never saw those when I was in Taiwan. Many things were new , like the food, and the trees. They had many trees! And their supermarket had many cool foods. Juicy fruit, yum chips, and many types of cans. Can was like cooked fish, noodle, soup……I liked all of them. My classmates were very friendly, and very kind!  My teachers were really funny and smart! I really enjoyed my summer. What about you? Sunny
