Week 6 – Finger Cymbals & Rhythm Play

This week the hands join the conversation.

Your digital handout holds the fit, the ring, the family of strokes, the gallop, and The Spark — one continuous phrase you can take home. Even is more beautiful than fast. Silence is a note. The hands hold a pulse. The body holds a dance.

A companion for class, to keep in your kit bag and for mastering the art in home practice.
