- | ## Notes | ||
- | I signed up for this workshop on a whim, figuring that it would be worthwhile to learn a little hambone -- all the better for entertaining (or distracting!) small children. | ||
- | |||
- | About twenty of us were present at the start of event, though another dozen odd folks arrived as the afternoon unfolded. | ||
- | |||
- | After a brief introduction, | ||
- | I'm sure my description is a little off, but it was great fun -- and a real challenge too! | ||
- | |||
- | From there we turned to hambone -- body percussion specifically derived from the African-american slave culture -- and tried practicing a bunch of those techniques. More fun, but harder on the hands than I expected, and certainly good for reminding myself that dexterity and rhythm are skills to be practiced! | ||
- | |||
- | Following a sort of round-the-world survey of other body percussion techniques (inuit mouth music was an exciting new one to me!), we returned to another counting exercise. | ||
- | First Keith leading us through a series of short routines of increasing beat length (eg: 1 beat, 2 beats, 3 beats, etc, running up to 10). Next, he'd break up the class into groups, then set each group to playing patterns, such as one group playing 3 cycles of 8 vs. another playing 4 cycles of 6. | ||
- | As with trying kecak, it was a great challenge, and lots of fun trying to lock together with your own group while listening to the entire ensemble. | ||
- | |||
- | All in all, I thought it was a very worthy activity for a summer afternoon! | ||
