Welcome to a celebration of percussion where the beat knows no boundaries, and the joy of music is for everyone. At Buk-it-Fest our online percussion competition aims to share the transformative power of music, and we’re on a mission to break down barriers to access, making the world of rhythm open to all. This is not just a festival; it’s a stage for talents of all ages to showcase their ingenuity while nurturing the musical spirit within schools and communities as they infuse their performances with the essence of their unique flare.
We want everyone to have access!
At Buk-It-Fest, we believe that music is a universal language, and every individual deserves a stage to showcase their unique rhythm. That’s why we’ve curated a competition with a category for everybody, ensuring that every beat, no matter how distinct, finds its place in the spotlight.
Competition Core Principles
1. Accessible Instruments:
Buk-it-Fest encourages the use of everyday items, from buckets to bottles and anything in your everyday environment, so removing the financial barriers associated with traditional instruments.
2. Music Without Boundaries:
Our online festival transcends the constraints of conventional music education, fostering an environment where everyone is free to explore, create, learn, and share their unique rhythms. Our Buk-it-Fest Handbook will equip you with not just rules for the competition, but resources and tips to get you started in no time. Join us in embracing an innovative approach to musical expressions, ensuring that no one is left out of the joyous experience of making music.
4. Digital First Approach: Buk-it-Fest aims to keep it simple and low cost to our participants, while achieving our objective of a meaningful engagement. So this Festival is based online as we use the convenience of modern technology to boost your access to tools for developing your work.
