RHYTHM WORKSHOP
what is it?
The workshop is a directed ensemble. The group is guided through a range of graded rhythmic exercises.
what do I play?
You bring your instrument (or voice). Most exercises are played on just a few notes so that you are free to concentrate on advancing your rhythm and reading skills.
what is covered in the series?
• sub-dividing (in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9)
• polyrhythm (2 and 3, 3 and 4, 3 and 5, 4 and 5 etc)
• additive rhythm (fast pulse grouped in 2, 3, 4, 5 etc)
• multiple metre (some play in 7 while others play in 8 or 5, for example)
• and more!
“...I enjoyed the workshops and found them challenging and rewarding. You managed to bring technical aspects and “feeling the rhythm” together - a most difficult task at this level of complexity." - Nathan
