Rhythmus spüren, verstehen und spielen

In the organizer's words:

Frame drum course for beginners

This course is aimed at absolute beginners who have no previous knowledge but are curious to discover the instrument in a playful way. Over ten dates, you will learn the basic playing technique in lab style (sitting), the Indian rhythm language konnakol and important aspects of rhythm theory such as subdivision and odd time signatures.

What to expect:

• Technique of the frame drum: introduction to the lab style technique - the basis for relaxed and flexible playing.
• Konnakol - the Indian rhythm language: Learn not only to play rhythms, but also to understand, count and use them creatively.
• Body coordination and independence: Special exercises improve your motor skills and promote your rhythmic precision.
• Rhythmic understanding: explore the subdivision of rhythms, get a feel for odd beats and develop your sense of polyrhythms.

In addition to the technical and theoretical foundation, the focus is on making music together. Playing in a group is not only inspiring, but also a valuable experience for your own musical sensibility.

The basic course is ideal for anyone who wants to discover music and rhythm with the frame drum - no previous musical knowledge is required!

Participants should wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to dance barefoot or in socks. We recommend bringing a bottle of water and a towel for after class.
