ONLINE workshop, Rhythmic Tomfoolery and Dulcimer Reel

Thursday, January 25, 7-8 pm EDT

Rhythmic Tomfoolery and Dulcimer Reel

If you'd like your playing to be more rhythmically grounded, or conversely you'd like to be more rhythmically free, this workshop will tick all the boxes. In the first part of the workshop you'll be challenged by a series of hands-on exercises, and in the second part we'll put them to use in the Paul Van Arsdale tune, Dulcimer Reel. You'll hear and learn to feel the differences between on and off beat accents in 4/4, plus a 6/8 feel which brings this tune roaring to life.

Cost: $50

ONLINE Workshop series: Ragtime Feel and Repertoire

 —  —

ONLINE

Join me for a 4 week class in which we explore and deepen our understanding of rhythmic feels in ragtime, and how that translates to the hammered dulcimer. We'll create a visceral understanding of several rhythmic concepts and put them into practice in multiple ragtime pieces- the 4-part, 2-key Dill Pickle Rag, and the East Texas Serenaders' Combination Rag, among others. The focus of the workshop is to develop an ability to play ragtime in an effective and compelling manner, understanding emphasis/de-emphasis, effective and smooth hammering, and syncopation.

Held over Zoom, you'll be sent music and exercise materials, and will be sent the videos to download each week, which means conflicts with the dates or time are not an issue and you'll have lifetime access to the workshop videos.

Four Sessions, 90 minutes each. Series runs JAN 5-26, 2:30-4pm EST

REGISTRATION IS OPEN! Go to https://allroadsleadhome.com/product/952414 to purchase and register for the series!
