The Teacher and Student method series of books have been designed so that the student can work with their teacher in covering all of the skills needed to perform with a particular instrument. There are many self-teaching and highly detailed instructional books on the market, but none have been created for a one-on-one teaching environment. Why do you need diagrams and instruction, when you have a well-qualified teacher sat right next to you in the room? The answer is that you don't, and so The Teacher and Student Method does away with the unnecessary book filler and instead fills the pages with comprehensive and thorough exercise material. By the time you are finished with our books, you will be ready for the show Who better to teach you the basics of music and performance than your very own teacher? The Teacher and Student Method Books have pages dedicated to personal instruction on every new topic, so you can learn what you need to learn throughout the curriculum... and nothing else. The Teacher's Notes pages allow your teacher to demonstrate the basics of playing your instrument, in a way that is tailored to your needs and level of understanding. Also, they can provide you with additional exercises and practice techniques if need be, as well as examples from your favorite songs. While it is very important to practice with your instrument on a daily basis, we all know that isn't always possible. This is why The Teacher and Student Method covers every topic in fine detail, so you are practically becoming a seasoned musician as you progress through the many exercises in the books. The Teacher and Student Method Drum Set Studies Book 1 is the first in a two book series.

The Artistry of Afro-Cuban Bata Drumming - Aesthetics, Transmission, Bonding, and Creativity (Hardcover, New): Kenneth... The Artistry of Afro-Cuban Bata Drumming - Aesthetics, Transmission, Bonding, and Creativity (Hardcover, New)
Kenneth Schweitzer
R1,785 Discovery Miles 17 850 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

An iconic symbol and sound of the Lucumi/Santeria religion, Afro-Cuban bata are talking drums that express the epic mythological narratives of the West African Yoruba deities known as "orisha." By imitating aspects of speech and song, and by metaphorically referencing salient attributes of the deities, bata drummers facilitate the communal praising of "orisha" in a music ritual known as a "toque de santo."

In "The Artistry of Afro-Cuban Bata Drumming," Kenneth Schweitzer blends musical transcription, musical analysis, interviews, ethnographic descriptions, and observations from his own experience as a ritual drummer to highlight the complex variables at work during a live Lucumi performance.

Integral in enabling trance possessions by the "orisha," by far the most dramatic expressions of Lucumi faith, bata drummers are also entrusted with controlling the overall ebb and flow of the four- to six-hour "toque de santo." During these events, bata drummers combine their knowledge of ritual with an extensive repertoire of rhythms and songs. Musicians focus on the many thematic acts that unfold both concurrently and in quick succession. In addition to creating an emotionally charged environment, playing salute rhythms for the "orisha," and supporting the playful song competitions that erupt between singers, bata drummers are equally dedicated to nurturing their own drumming community by creating a variety of opportunities for the musicians to grow artistically and creatively."

R370 Discovery Miles 3 700 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Man has been beating on drums from as far back as history records. Drums (membranophones) are an instrument that creates sound when a hand or an object is struck against a stretched membrane. Drums are among the earliest instruments, dating back to 6000 BC. Our individual innate attraction to rhythm began in our mother's womb. Even before birth, we are rhythmic beings. During those first nine months, we are introduced to rhythm - mom's beating heart. This natural, "reassuring," constant beat surrounds us and I believe leaves a sonic imprint on everyone born of woman. Ancient yet contemporary, think of the music you hear every day - on your car radio, in commercials, in movie soundtracks and television - all of it has a BEAT. They produce this beat with drums. One writer said, "Music without drums is foreign to the modern ear." I would say, "If you're not drumming you are missing out of a vital component of life." The ability and desire to drum is alive in all of us. The origin of the word rhythm is Greek meaning "to flow." Drumming gives us a way to feel the beat, the pulse, the groove needed to feel connected and balanced, rather than isolated and out of whack. My emphasis is on hand drumming because with hand drumming, you literally feel the rhythm; you form a tighter bond than the audio route. Hand drumming allows you to go with the flow. There is a rhythm in life and hand drumming will connect & keep you connected. This book explores that connection and other dynamics of hand drumming. Do NOT worry if you are not a drummer - the first page will qualify you for this journey. Also, this book is not about technique; but proposes to be a fuel to cause your passions to burn brighter.

R211 Discovery Miles 2 110 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

'How To Practise Drums - A drum education book for beginners, intermediate and advance drummers and a great drum gift' is a drum book aimed at all levels of drummers.

I have put all my drum practise tips together in one handy book. There is no filler and the latest edition (Released Dec 2013) has even more helpful advice included. The kind folks at Rhythm Magazine asked me to write an article on the subject after they read this book and appreciated the value it would bring to all drummers.

I have taken to heart comments that were made on the first edition, expanded on some ideas and even given a detailed break down of a weekly drum practise schedule for beginners, intermediate and advanced drummers.

Though these are just guidelines as you will understand how to create your own custom practise routine once you have read the book. Other topics that are covered include finding more time to practise, the importance of a practise diary and the importance of a drum teacher.

The book also includes links to have direct contact with me so if you have any questions or need help with any part of your drumming please contact me and I'll do my best to help you out.

Below are a few quotes from the happy people who have read my book 'How To Practise Drums - A drum education book for beginners, intermediate and advance drummers and a great drum gift'.

I hope to see you honest reviews once you have read the book.

"Great and concise. Sometimes it takes plain speaking to make you realise the obvious. Cheers Kyle, my boy loves it and it has inspired him to practice more often" Campersmudge (Amazon Review)

..".it condensed the basics of how to approach and organise practice time into a few easy to digest chapters and helped immensely to make practice time more productive. The techniques described here could apply to practising any instrument, and I would recommend it to any aspiring musician." Alan Flint (Amazon Review)

"This is a good book by Kyle with lots of good advice and suggestions about the importance of practising, how to practise and what to practise. Kyle gives straight, direct and to-the-point suggestions and advice in easy to understand language, and doesn't beat around the bush with over descriptive methods or with using big words. He offers his help readily to anyone with further questions about what he writes in his book, and I think that is very nice of him, given his busy schedule. ... it is a good reference piece and also a nice teaching tool for drumming teachers like myself. I hope that Kyle will write more books of this nature on other important subjects in drumming and I will definitely buy all of them " John Silva (Amazon Review)

"I can honestly say that these simple things have helped me further develop my practice routine and I've seen immediate results. Each drummer is unique and different and some things may or may not apply. To have direction and a plan can only benefit you so why not read this book? If you can apply one or 2 things that will help you grow in your playing then wouldn't it be worth it? If you find yourself scattered on what you practice, or playing with no discipline or focus then you need a plan, a plan on "How To Practice Drums" -Ermin Monzon

..".there are many valuable tips to help drummers focus and improve their skill level. This is a practical companion to any routine, providing strong encouragement from an experienced player and educator. Cullen also includes a useful section with some tips to help drummers in the area of networking and marketing." - Andy Williamson
