, A Journey Into Primordial Rhythm, Barry Mason and Lina Lotto, Hawkwood College, Stroud, Glos, 26 Jun 2011
A chance to explore the cycles of life expressed through music in every culture. The day focuses on different aspects of rhythm, expressed with a range of easy to play instruments from around the world (including our own body!). In particular we will be working with the hang (an increasingly popular newly-created metal percussion form played with the fingertips)and udu (double-ended clay drum) which allow melody and rhythm to be effortlessly combined. Simple movement and relaxation exercises are also included. No previous experience of music or drumming is necessary, and instruments will be provided.
