Come one, come all!
Yes after missing a week we are back at it! The next known performance
event is Bethlehem@Barrington on December 24th, for which we usually have a
small band of 6-8 people, so stay tuned for more on that sometime soon.
*Practice this week is Tuesday from 6:30 - 8:00 as usual*.
Please listen to the new piece *Mercado* on our Soundcloud playlist. Here's
a link to the rhythm <https://soundcloud.com/samba-nova-rhythms/mercado>.
Some thoughts on playing:
- Always be honest with yourself about your level so we can make the
best music possible together
- We want the beats to sound clean so it's really important to follow
the right tempo
- Try to organize your movements in your mind before and during play
- Using your feet to "step the beat" is better than moving your body
- get your feet on tempo first
- Keep your movements focused on your instrument
Well, there I got that off my ancient "samba instructions to share" list :-)
SEE YOU ON TUESDAY!
