Themes will be completed applying all the subjects studied. There are many video and audio options available.

Dany Moreno propouse the cajon as an alternative and complement of a drum kit, dose not want the cajon to be a substitute but an alternative for the performances in small venues where using the drums becomes a problem of room. Besides we can take advantage of the similar low-high sound that shares the cajon's with the drum and the bass drum.
