When the Montana wilderness seems a little too quiet, we know how to drum up some family excitement. Paws Up welcomes Scott Besaw back for this annual event that turns even the rhythmically challenged into stellar stars of the drum. It’s a hands-on drumming course (literally, no sticks required!) that teaches kids and grown-ups alike the basic principles of music and team building. Besaw hails from Chicago’s world-famous Old Town School of Folk Music and brings with him an infectious passion for all things musical. Come join the lively group of percussionists and learn how to truly march to the beat of your own drum.
Besaw is also available on a fee basis for private demonstrations or lessons.
