Body Music & Body Percussion
Body Music & Body Percussion
My name is Giovanni Gargini, and I play drums, piano, sing, and teach body percussion and Feldenkrais Method®.
In this course we’ll learn the foundations of body percussion, focusing on body sounds & technique, music theory, and counting systems.
We go deep into understanding what is a groove, and learn how to feel and internalize it.
Then we explore a non-conventional music notation system, and finally we put it all together to learn four body-music songs.
