This course will give you practical ways to deepen your sense of pulse and rhythm, as well as methods to become comfortable with any rhythmic challenge. Using rhythm languages from several cultures, we explore how to negotiate odd meters, incorporate deep breathing thru overtone singing and learn rhythm compositions from South India. Students will periodically use their principle instrument or voice to try out the concepts we learn. Each week the class will receive a handout covering new material and the assignment for the next class.
