Most of the class will be call & response. We will learn four universal concepts, and accent sounds to spice ‘em up. Participants need to be able to play tones, slaps, and bass notes proficiently. Material will be taught at slower speeds, and then applied at faster tempos. Questions and audio recorders welcome. We may also have time for games & stories.
