Are you afraid of drum solos? Check out our NYC workshop this Saturday!

blancadance — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:49:41 GMT

Last year Carmine and I started talking about Drum Solos. Over lattes, we had many conversations about improvisation, performance and how Drum Solos are put together. We shared our own experiences from the viewpoint of a musician and a dancer, talked about how we found Drum Solos very challenging when we first started and noticed how often we've encountered students who are afraid of them.

Our conversations centered around ways to provide students with tools that would accelerate their training. We talked about ways to give in one workshop all the insights and techniques that we've come up with through our years performing. We taught our ideas in several cities in Mexico (we've been asked to go back and teach more) and will be teaching our first NYC workshop this Saturday.

Carmine believes that listening is an essential skill. For him it's not enough to tell the dancer to listen; he teaches what to listen for: cues, changes, hints... and of course, the rhythms.

Another one of the tools we'll be teaching is a series of connected phrases that the dancer can draw from as she improvises. As they become ingrained in the dancer's body, she no longer has to think about them when she is performing. By connecting the movement phrases with the rhythms, they become memorable and the dancer gets a clearer understanding of them.

In Carmine's words: "Often after I play for dancers, people from the audience will say: 'You and your wife were great!'
They see us so connected they assume we must live together and practice all the time. The trick is to make it look like we practiced even if we didn't. I really want to teach drummers and dancers how to do this".

We're both very excited about sharing this workshop and look forward to having fun with you this Saturday. There will be lots of "Ah ha!" moments and surprises!

35 Songs for Pennsic!

samirashuruk — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 16:02:32 GMT

Re-posted from another tribe.

Hey all!

Melissa and I (Carmine) put together a list of the songs we're going to be playing/working on this pennsic. There are 35 songs total. 24 are from our practice CDs. With this man songs, we can do a good 3 to 4 hours of music at a hafla without repeating any songs.

Here is the list. It even has links to the sheet music and practice mp3s (if available). If you see Melissa or myself playing a hafla you are invited to play with us! Bring your violin/guitar/doumbek/flugelhorn/whatever!

Here is the list:
