Rhythm is a dancer (Part #1)
This time we are working on training our ear to recognize rhythms without overthinking rhythms.
In this drill we are going to move and react to Shifteteli, Malfuf, Karachi, & Maqsum.
I have always struggled with the musical breakdown of rhythms. If you asked me to count out or sound out a Malfuf for you you would watch me twist in the wind so to speak. I have no skill, or aptitude for reading music (my piano teacher as a child once told me I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket lol, reading music and understanding its structure from an academic standpoint has always been an issue for me).
However I know it when I hear it and I know how to react to it. As a dancer this I think is something that matters. So if you are like me and not scholastically adept at rhythms just making a mental note to practice to rhythms will help a lot.
All the rhythms tracks used here are from the album "Ritmos de Medio Oreinte" by Luciano Bertoluzzi.
I love this album and highly recommend it (I downloaded it from apple music). The tracks are longer and contain variation.
Happy drilling and thrilling.
Thank you so much for learning with me ❤
I do not own the music. Music is used for teaching and educational purposes.
