The basics of developing a castanet part and castanet notation will be discussed, tried out and practised. The focus will be on rhythms, time signatures, articulations, dynamics and the various playing techniques used in castanet playing. We will work with many different musical styles and try to develop a short or longer castanet part ourselves.
Castanet parts developed by course participants can be submitted. I will then tranfer them into notation software. They can then be played back and discussed.With single ticket or ticket for ten.
