Beginning Bodhrán
Come explore the rhythmic world of the bodhrán, using both the stick hand and the back hand to produce beats and tones to accompany folk music and song. We’ll learn several reel and jig patterns, and if time permits, additional rhythms like marches or slip jigs.
If you don’t have a drum, you can use any large piece of cardboard (cut up a moving box; get a clean pizza box; even the back of a writing tablet, in a pinch) and something to strike it with (a wooden dowel; an unsharpened pencil; a rubber-banded bundle of wooden kabob skewers, etc.) There will also be a limited number of drums to borrow.
