We’ll understand what sets them apart and how to ‘access’ each of the following genres of music: Progressive Rock Pop Blues & Shuffle Funk Jazz Afro-Cuban (Basic Grooves) Odd Times: We’ll use the spoken percussion art of Konnakol to demystify odd time signatures. Students will not only learn how to groove in odd times but will learn the basic vocabulary of Konnakol as well. We will use Konnakol to navigate through various different odd time signatures and odd time sticking’s.
