Groove Essentials.


Three days of exploring rhythm, multiplying our means to an end.                                                                                                                          

 DAY ONE
 


1.     The Pulse

Every living organism has a pulse. The universe has a pulse. Time is a pulse.

Music has a pulse. Through simple patterns we learn to identify, internalize and finally lock with basic pulses.


2.     The Clave

History of the clave. Function and form.

 
DAY TWO        

2.     The Clave (continued)

The key to almost any traditional rhythm and dance, (including the Afro-American tradition, e.g. blues, jazz, New Orleans, samba, salsa etc ).
  

3.     Patterns – Groupings

Identify patterns in rhythm and their building blocks.

Understand, create and support the most common rhythmic constructions.

 
DAY THREE  

4.     Polyrhythms

The fundamentals of overlapping rhythms with different pulses or ‘’It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing’’
