Past Events - 2023
_x000D_ Tuition: $115 for 3-part series, or $45 per session_x000D_
_x000D_ All of the sessions are hands-on, and no instruments are needed. We'll step, clap and vocalize simple patterns and rhythmic games to internalize these tools, which enhance the development of time and timing, phrasing, listening skills, independence, coordination, and ensemble awareness. This knowledge can then be applied to musical instruments, the voice, and other vehicles of expression, in composition and improvisation. Useful resources for musicians, dancers and movers of all kinds, actors, DJs, beat-makers, and film editors. _x000D_
_x000D_ Session One: Introduction to Body Music

Construct, deconstruct and reconstruct the Rhythm Blocks in infinite variations as you learn to play them in many fun and practical ways. For all levels._x000D_
_x000D_ Session Two: Groove in 5 and 7
_x000D_ Saturday, January 21, 10 - 11:30 am
_x000D_ Using body music as our vehicle, we'll explore ways to play in 5/4 and 7/4 in comfortable, natural, and grooving ways that don't feel "odd."_x000D_
_x000D_ Session Three: Polymeters and Crosspulses
_x000D_ January 28, 10 - 11:30 am
_x000D_ Enjoy hemiola with that 3 over 2 feel? We can use the same concept to play 4 over 3, 5 over 3, 5 over 4, 7 over 3, and others. Keith will show you his simple technique incorporating polymeters to find the crosspulses of any two or more numbers. Embody it, Play it, Incorporate it.
