Event Information
☆October 10th (Sat) Event☆Pandeiro Workshop! Studio Class
This is a small group workshop where you can learn pandeiro thoroughly.☆
Opening class
◎ Beginner Pandeiro
~From those playing for the first time to those who want to review their playing style~
We will give you an easy-to-understand lecture on the basics, how to hold the instrument without getting tired, and how to produce sound.
This is a must-see course for those who have just bought an instrument, those who want to go back to the basics, and those who are worried that their arm hurts when they play or that they can't produce sound.
◎ Regular class
~From basic training to actual combat~
When it comes to playing, being able to hit fast doesn't mean much.
How to use pandeiro to play music...
The answer lies in "movement".
Let's understand the groove from the "movement" rather than the musical score or pattern.
- What is the sound of true speed?
- How to play with a more beautiful tone?
- Even if I know how to make sounds, I still don't know how to practice.
We will also answer questions such as:
I want to deepen my understanding of pandeiro, which has the potential to be compatible with a variety of music! I want to know more! This is a course for those who.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that I would send this to someone who is captivated by the charm of Pandeiro.
