Course description:
A music-focused course: Afro-Caribbean rhythms and percussion techniques.
This class explores traditional Afro-Cuban and Dominican percussion and rhythms.
The aim is to develop your ear for rhythm, your rhythmic precision and your mastery of the instruments.
.
Rhythms covered:
Afro-Cuban rhythms (son, salsa, bolero);
Dominican rhythms (merengue, bachata);
Puerto Rican rhythms (salsa, cha-cha-cha);
African rhythms (kuku, sinte, tiriba).
Instruments covered:
Congas;
Clave;
Maracas;
Güiro;
Campana;
Djembe.
The studio is equipped with all these instruments. It is therefore not necessary – though welcome – to bring your own instruments.
No previous experience is required. This course is aimed at anyone curious to learn Afro-Caribbean and Dominican percussion, whether a beginner or an experienced player.
Dance can provide further insight and complement the programme, and dancers wishing to gain a better understanding of the rhythms they dance to will also find this course beneficial.
