Beginner  – Intermediate Classes: Description

Learn the skills and techniques of playing the Doumbek.  Starting with basic  hand positions for holding and playing the Doumbek drum,  Abu Zouz will take you through the fundamental practices of playing  Middle Eastern  rhythms with a sustainable form and how to spice them up once you get the hang of them.  We will primarily cover the rhythms: maqsoum, saidi, masmoudi kabir, masmoudi-salir(baladi), and ayoub in class.  Additional rhythms will be used in class for practice and foundation building.  You will develop a strong start toward sustainable technique.  Intermediate students encouraged to attend for review. 
 
Dancers will benefit from a multilayered understanding of the  rhythms that they can apply to their performances.

Students will need to have a drum as there are a limited number of drums to  borrow in class. There will be a small amount of homework in between classes and students will receive assistance with practices schedules.
 
Intermediate Classes coming in the future: 
As you advance in your playing abilities, you will learn new rhythms,  ornamentation (how to make the rhythm more intricate), new technique (technical ways of making new sounds) on the drum and how to apply the different sounds as solo's for Belly Dancers.   This level of instrutction will give you  a through  understanding of the rhythms, their structure, ornamentation and how to play solo leads over the rhythms.
