Embodying Rhythm

David Alderdice - Embodying Rhythm Marimba Summer Music Camp for kids
2014-07-07 09:00 - 2014-07-11 15:00 (America/Denver)
Embodying Rhythm Marimba Summer Music Camp at the Blue Sage Center for the Arts July 7 – 11, 2014
Ages 9+ More info: www.bluesage.org
Learn to play South African marimbas and their accompanying percussion parts focusing on music of the Shona people of Zimbabwe. A great way to learn rhythm, melody and harmony all at once. Be part of a super fun world music ensemble while deepening your relationship to music, art, and life! All experience levels welcome.
Three things students will learn in this class are:
1) Students will learn a variety of marimba parts and percussion parts and how they all fit together within the ensemble. A foundational hands-on look will be given to the rhythm fundamentals required to play music with others, such as pulse, beat-placement, and subdivisions.
2) As part of ensemble playing the students will learn the application of active listening, how to groove deeper, and how to support each other within the music by realizing the sum is much greater than each individual part.
3) Many universal artistic concepts will arise and be learned as well – such as balance, eye hand coordination, pattern recognition, syncopation, ratios, and musical polarities.

Hosted by the Montrose County Library
One of the definitions of feast is “to enjoy some unusual pleasure or delight,” and that’s what 604 lucky people will do on Aug. 24 when they attend a free concert at the Montrose Pavilion at 3 p.m. with Feast, a popular Celtic band from Grand Junction.
Feast has played Montrose several times.
“(Feast) was a sell-out for a few years,” said Kara McKenna, Pavilion director. “I have actually been having people asking about that show and if they had plans to return to the Pavilion. They have a large following.”
