West African Drumming - MUS854
This unit will investigate the phenomenon of polyrhythm in an ensemble context. It does this by focusing strongly on interlocking networks of simple support parts that combine to create complex and sophisticated rhythms. The unit aims to equip the student to perform selected items from the drum ensemble repertoire of the traditions under investigation. It will also work towards providing experience of developing rhythmic precision within an ensemble.
