The goal of this introductory workshop is to expand the participants' ability to both improvise and create their own rhythmic patterns in an ensemble situation.
Lenny Seidman, tabla player/composer and co director of award winning Spoken Hand Percussion Orchestra, has developed his teaching approach synthesizing years of tabla studies with the legendary Zakir Hussain, his work with master South Indian violinist Adrian L'Armand, and his 17 year history with Spoken Hand.
Beginning with the “Universe of One”, Lenny will explore with the participants the vast interior world of just one beat as a template for the bigger picture. Initially we will utilize clapping and recitation of the Sanskrit rhythm syllables used in the North and South Indian drumming traditions. We will play them on whatever drum you have with special attention paid to the melodic and dynamic components of rhythm. We will broaden this out to include the use of space, poly rhythms and ensemble playing.
