‘”Flamenco rhythms can’t be copied, but they can be refined.”
In this master class, Miguel Reyes JIMÉNEZ will introduce his third educational book ‘Flamenco Tools II’, a compendium of lessons and exercises devised from over 20 years of teaching. With practical cajon and flamenco clapping examples as well as duo demonstrations in collaboration with Kati Golenko (American flamenco guitarist based in Madrid, Spain) this class is aimed at percussionists, drummers, and musicians who want to improve the way they feel and play flamenco rhythms.
Goals:
1. Position your hands correctly on the cajon and while hand-clapping flamenco rhythms, focusing on:
a. Improving the quality of the tone and sound
b. Aiming for fluency
c. Improving the accentuation of flamenco rhythms/ styles
2. Understand the keys to improving your inner sense of rhythm for flamenco
3. Learn to program a digital metronome to study flamenco
4. Improve your ‘soniquete’ or ‘flamenco groove’ through the polyrhythmic richness of flamenco
5. Develop and apply common drum studies/exercises to the cajon using the 'Flamenco Tools' method
