Participants will learn basic playing techniques, drum patterns, and polyrhythmic structures by playing in djembe-centered percussion ensembles based on repertoire from Mali. The teaching and learning style will be primarily oral/aural and "by doing". Course objectives include an informal public performance toward the end of the semester. A highlight will be rehearsing and a brief but intense joint performance with a group of professional guest artists from Mali, who will share their concert stage with us for a piece.
Prerequisite: Prior experience in drumming/percussion is helpful but not required. A division into subgroups (e.g., beginners and advanced) is possible according to need.
Class meets 6-7pm Mondays and/or 5:30-6:30 pm Wednesday (meeting times depends upon the student's musical background), no previous musical experience is required however.
