Some ways to think about playing as a group...
Pulse
- Heartbeat of the music on which all players must agree!
- Often, but not always, provided by the instrument most easy to hear
Voicing
- By taking advantage of frequencies and textures, we can get more mileage out of reusing the same musical ideas
Interlocking Patterns
- Today's example: 3-2 and 2-3 son clave. They can be played together and interlock nicely, but it requires a degree of...
Independence
- Understanding your role in the music relative to the pulse
- In the beginning, it can be useful to "ignore" other parts, but the ultimate goal is to be able to hear them without being swayed by them
