June 20, 2013 7:30-9:00 PM Introducti​on to Clave’ in Four with Joe Machamer

The purpose of this class is to have lots of fun through a review of Son, Rumba, and Bossa Nova clave’ patterns and the further internalization of these essential rhythms. These goals will be accomplished through a series of exercises such as clapping while stepping to the downbeat, hand-to-hand accenting, playing clave’ on the ago-go while stepping to the downbeat, locating clave’ inside of certain rhythms, and identifying clave’ in traditional ethnic and popular American music. The class will conclude with an attempt to play an arrangement in the style of Samba-Reggae as heard on the song “Obvious Child” from Paul Simon’s CD “Rhythm of the Saints”.
