Join the Dots: Rhythm Reading 101 Workshop
If you've wondered what all the dots and squiggles on the sheets we sometimes use at choir mean, or you'd like a refresher because you haven't read music since school, this workshop is for you!
While we love teaching by ear and have no plans to stop doing that ever, many of you have asked for the low-down on the mysteries of music notation, so we're here to unveil as much of it as we can for you in a way that is most useful in the context of choir.
For this second instalment of our Join the Dots series we will be focusing on RHYTHM. The groove, the beat, the thing that makes you wanna tap your foot and have a little dance.
You’ll come away knowing:
✅ how time signatures work
✅ how long each note goes for
✅ strategies to help with counting rhythms
✅ how your body is your best rhythmic friend
It will be a fun, interactive workshop with your trusty choir leaders and music nerds Jack and Naomi. There will be singing, there is bound to be laughter and there will of course be tea! In this rhythm edition there will almost certainly be not-to-be-missed dance moves from Jack.
Everyone is welcome, whether you come to Alterna regularly or not. You don't need to have attended the previous Join the Dots workshop to come to this one. This is Rhythm 101!
