Introduction to Percussion: Discover the Magic of Rhythm

“ Opening our ears to the sounds of the world makes us connect even more intensely with all of Nature. Everything is interconnected, therefore, all current music is influenced by ancestral music, and knowing the roots of different rhythms opens up, for each of us, infinite possibilities of general knowledge about ourselves and the world. We all feel the need to have music guide us with its rhythmic cells of love, passion, and authenticity transporting us to other times and places. Now it's your turn to create your own rhythm by building your own melodies. What is the melody that makes the most sense for your life? What melody would you like to be remembered for?

In the additional resources, I left for you an audio file with each of the sounds I produced and a final file with the result of the three instruments together. Analyze each rhythm and your feelings about it. Start with a small loop and create a melody that lasts for several minutes.
