Notation of African Rhythms Workshop

Understand and Apply this universal system for djembe and dunun Drums

 
Notation of African Rhythms Workshop with Alan Tauber Sunday, February 19, 2012 Learn how to notate African rhythms in an easy to understand and use system! 6PM - 8PM at The DrumRoom For beginners to professional hand drummers. All welcome! Fun and rewarding! In a rare workshop, Alan Tauber, master technician of the djembe, shares his experience of notating African rhythms on the fly! We will learn to hear a phrase and write it down on paper in a way that it will remind you of what you played just moments before. This way, you can have a paper or digital system of keeping track of the music you love to remember. The Mystery of Notation - Let’s take the mystery AWAY! There are many systems and come are complicated. We will use the world wide standard and embellish it a bit for our needs. We will learn to hear and notate hand-patterns, breaks, solo phrases, rolls and arrangements for the djembe and dunun drums. You may wish to bring a camera or a recording device, and pencil and paper. And your djembe or use one of ours! We are not sure you need your drum but you may want to bring it. This is not a drumming evening! This is all about how to really be able to write down what you are playing. It will be fun and focussed work. Like a seminar, I guess. But, we’ll make it fun. $30.- (cash, check or credit card) To get more info or to register, please call 781-316-8068 or email us (info@drumconnection.com) that you will attend. Limited to 15.
