Structural features of Cajon

The Cajon or box instrument is a percussion instrument from Peru that dates back to the 1800s. One of the first notable points about the structure of this instrument is that you have to sit on it to play! And its beautiful sound is created by tapping on the front panel (or tapa plate) and the side plates of the instrument. This instrument is actually a rectangular box made of wood. While the side and back and front plates of the box can be 0.5 to 0.75 inches thick, the top board on which the musician sits is made of plywood. There is a hole in the back of the instrument (or sometimes in the left and right walls of the instrument) where the sound exits. In some types of Cajon, the instrument is tuned by loosening and tightening the tension of the strings. This instrument is used in flamenco and jazz style. Some of the most important Cajon players in the world are Mario Cortes, Mike Meadows, Nina Rodriguez, and Stephen Moss.

Learning music in Charlottetown

The capital of Canada's smallest province, Prince Edward Island is Charlottetown, founded by the French colony of the year. Due to its isolation on Charlottetown Island, its early musical activities were limited to amateurs, musicians, and singers who occasionally visited the city. In the early 1820s, singing schools were established to teach church music in the city and gradually expanded and are still used professionally to this day. Later, various bands were formed in the city, such as the Charlottetown Band, the Moderate Boys Band, and the St. Peter Cathedral Boys Band. The Confederation of Arts Center, Charlottetown Beer Garden, and Baba Lounge are some of this small town's most famous music halls. In addition, music festivals such as Cavendish Beach and the Charlotte Town Festival are held in the city.
