TaKeTiNa Rhythm Workshop in June

We don't have all the details yet, but we are in the final phases of setting up a TaKeTiNa Rhythm Workshop with Greg Burrows.

What is TaKeTiNa?

From the official website (www.taketina.com):

"TaKeTiNa is one of the most effictient learning methods available today. It is a process for activating human and musical potential through rhythm. It is a path in which musical learning always goes hand in hand with personal development.

TaKeTiNa conveys rhythm the way people naturally grasp and learn it: by direct physical experience of fundamental rhythmic movement. The capacity for this is inborn; all infants come into the world with the sensory and motor skills that become the rhythmic foundation of all music. Fundamental rhythmic movement are the underlying matrix of an form of music.

The body is the instrument, the rhythm experience therefore is very intense and direct. TaKeTiNa is just as appropriate for musical laypersons as for professional musicians."

We really look forward to introducing Midcoast Maine to these wonderful rhythmic workshops. More details of this workshop are coming soon!
