World Drumming is a hand drumming course that explores rhythmic motives derived from different cultures rich in percussive music. The concept of poly-rhythms and rhythm stacking through African, Latin, Caribbean, and Asian music will all be examined and practiced through the use of music reading as well as by rote memorization. Students will perform on various hand drum instruments of varying style and ethnic backgrounds. Rhythmic content will progress from the easy to medium level. Topics will include music reading skills, technique, and general musicality. Students will perform as a group and individually during class time. No musical background is required for this course.
