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.
Music education in Liverpool
Liverpool has a long tradition in classical and pop music. This city is very famous for introducing the Beatles to the world. The pop and rock scene has been one of the most important parts of British music since the 1950s. In 2001, they declared Liverpool the Guinness Book of World Records as the city of pop because of the number one records that came out of the city. The most famous band from Liverpool is the Beatles, who have performed many of their early concerts at the Cavern Club. In the 1960s, the city was the site of the Morsi Beat pop music genre, popularized by artists such as Gerry & The Pacemakers. However, even before Morsi Beat, Liverpool had successful moves like Frankie Van, Lita Rosa, and Billy Fury. In 2008, the Liverpool World Museum (in collaboration with the Institute for Popular Music at the University of Liverpool) hosted The Beat Goes On, which traces the entire history of music in Liverpool from 1945 to the present. Except for the Beatles, Gary, Pacemaker, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Eco de Bonnie, Laz, Zatons, Farm, Wombat, etc. have been introduced to the world from this city.
