This playful workshop is a total brain workout and
incorporates world rhythms and songs for djembe, doumbek, and cajon; body
percussion; improvisation; and jamming. You will be amazed at what you can
accomplish in only 2 fun hours! All levels welcome including absolute
beginners.
Amaze yourself and free your inner singer and drummer at
the same time! This workshop will teach you how to play the fundamental drum
strokes--bass, tone, slap, pop, and touch. Learn West African polyrhythms and
Middle Eastern trance rhythms and songs from around the world. You will gain a
deeper understanding of rhythm and learn how to feel the groove and improvise
in a rhythm. I will also teach healthy voice technique (breath support,
releasing throat tension, using your mask for projection, and a flexible
larynx) and basic body percussion. We’ll get expressive on our drums (djembe,
doumbek and cajon recommended), rock out, and sing!
This workshop is for all people: total beginners, those
with trauma around their voices, the rhythmically challenged, and experienced
singers and drummers. Everyone will benefit.
Please bring a water bottle and a drum (Djembe, doumbek,
and cajon are recommended. Bongo and congas are ok.) I have a few extra drums.
Email me amber@amberfieldmusic.com if you need to borrow a drum so that I can
bring one for you.
Cost: $35 Online// $40 Door
