MELODIC RHYTHMS -- a Native American Flute Circle; Morris Plains, NJ
Date: Sunday, April 24, 2005
Time: 3:00pm-5:00pm
Description: MELODIC RHYTHMS -- a Native American Flute Circle; Morris Plains, NJ
Date: Sunday, April 24, 2005
Time: 3:00pm
=================================================

Description:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the keys to tasteful improvising within a drum circle is to be able to hear and imagine simple melodies within the drumbeats surrounding you. What happens when we reverse this process, and listen for rhythms within simple melodies?

Come and help explore. We will apply easy drum circle techniques to create a playful flute choir, which is sensitive & faithful to the underlying beat!


What to Expect:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Native American flutes with their beautiful yet simple scales are extremely accessible to beginners; so newbies welcome! If you've got flutes, bring them, but plenty will be available. A blend of flute circle and drum circle enthusiasts will attend -- bring your experience and curiosity. We will use light timbre rhythmic accompaniment as a base: the heartbeat. But emphasis will be upon the flutes: the breathing lungs.

Part of the session will be devoted towards playing within a simple Southern U.S. blues call and response structure. We will also use pattern games to build up listening and playing together, as well as warm-ups exhaling long tones. Another exercise will involve simulation of early morning forest bird calls. As usual within flute circles, there will be plenty of time for show-and-tell about various flutes and an informal sharing of techniques, songs, fingering, and other sorts of de-mystification. (Or is it re-mystification?)


Contact:
~~~~~~~~
Rob Stolzenberger, 973-644-0699
Email: stolzy@...

Please get in touch for directions before coming, as size will need to be limited to 10 or so.
I can email mapquest link or give verbal directions for you.

Fee: You may be forced to consume absurdly anti-nutritious snacks!


=========W A N T E D =============

From: Catherine
CATHERI28@...

howdy all......I am in contact with a man who does "flamenco-esque" music. He is looking for someone with some experience in doing percussive hand clapping to accompany him. If you are interested or in the know of someone who is.....please drop me a line and I will try to hook you up with him.

peace and all good things,
cat.
