Technique Review

What are the two tones we know?

How are they played?

Let’s practice them one at a time on a question/answer game

What question should we ask?

Stepping Pattern

When you are on the frame drum, you will stand and step to the music

Our pattern goes like this:

RIGHT – TOGETHER – LEFT - TOGETHER

Question and Answer

A common theme in African traditional music is question and answer

We have done this a lot with “What’s your name?”

We are going to combine open and closed tones with this question and answer

I’ll play BASS-OPEN-OPEN in two beats

One student will play a two-beat answer combining BASS and OPEN tones

Let’s practice a few times, then go through our circle

If you’re playing a tubano, you are sitting

Remember: if you’re playing a frame drum, you are standing and stepping!

Your choices (andmaximum amounton it) are:

Cowbell (1)

Frame Drum (5)

Tubano (6)
