Hi Hat Girls
Hi Hat Girls is an initiative developed by female drummers to generate drum music experimentations to girls over 7 years old. The free monthly workshops happen in 7 different Brazilian cities and allow girls to finish ever reunion knowing at least how to play a whole song. It also aims to softly break gender stereotypes through musical experimentation.
The initiative counts with the work of a dedicated and experienced team that is aware of the transformative of the music. The no charged activity, in other hand, allows a diverse and inclusive environment.
Until today, more than 500 girls and women already participated of Rio de Janeiro’s workshops, that benefit 180 women annually. In the future, the idea is to have weekly workshops to attend 720 beneficiaries per year.
