Week of March 9-13
Students should come to class Tuesday with a first and second choice for the country they would like to present on. I will be discussing the expectations for the presentations and use of Internet in class on Thursday.
Students will be working on developing open tones on Tubanos and Djembes and learning bass tones. Students will be introduced to and play the Agogo bell. We will practice call and response as well as question and answer patterns (improvisation). We will also begin working on a polyrhythmic piece as an ensemble.
We will continue playing the hand game that we learned last week from Zimbabwe and begin a new rock passing game from Ghana.
