Bluesy Body Percussion
Friday, 28 October, 2011
Using the body percussion patterns as taught by both Jim Solomon and Jo Ella Hug, we add a little bit of 12 bar blues. Students as young as second grade can learn and be successful with this pattern. Next, you can move this pattern to drums and barred instruments. Mix it any way you want. Use canon form or even add an ostinato below the pattern. Retrograde some numbers, 3,2, 1 and always play the "1" in the center of a conga or djembe for an interesting sound. Have fun!
