Description

THE COURSE


In this course we will learn to play our first 100 rhythms on the Conga.  We will start by learning the basic sounds of the conga and then quickly start with the rhythms.  To my way of understanding percussion, the rhythms are the fundamental element.  They are like the vocabulary of a language or the bricks of a house.  In this way, if we have a wide vocabulary of rhythms, little by little we will begin to identify and detect rhythms and patterns when we listen to music and as a result, know how to use them.  Without a good vocabulary,  we will not be able to communicate anything.  The same thing happens in music.  Therefore, in this course we will focus on obtaining a solid enough rhythmic foundation.  In a  easy and intuitive way. 


MUSIC & PERCUSSION

Percussion is an extraordinary tool to connect with oneself and others.

We all know the beneficial power of music, both physically and mentally.

There are numerous studies that link playing an instrument with good brain activity.

In addition, the music goes directly to our emotions and each song transports us to a state of mind as if by magic.

Besides, the relational power of music has also been demonstrated when it comes to generating bonds with others.

All the positive qualities of music are amplified when you generate the music yourself.

Percussion is an ideal way  to get into the music or to solidify your tempo and rhythm if you already play an instrument.

Percussion gives us that essence of origins that allows us to forget for a moment our problems and connect with our depths
