Build Your Jam Bones: Rhythm for All Players (Workshop Wednesdays)

Rhythm is the foundation of every song we play, so why not learn more about it? Rhythm is not just for drummers and bass players. Every instrument in a jam influences rhythm, even singing voices! In this workshop, learn how to count and identify rhythm patterns so you can participate more confidently and purposefully at any jam.

We'll cover a wide range of jam rhythm concepts including beat and downbeat, tempo, time signatures, common jam rhythm patterns, how to identify and navigate unusual rhythm patterns, and explorations in applying rhythm patterns to your favorite instrument. There will be lots of audio and visual aids to assist.

All abilities are welcome. Instruments are not required, but feel free to bring an **acoustic** instrument if you wish to apply your rhythm skills in the last section of the workshop. This is a highly interactive workshop with clapping, counting, and movement to feel the groove. Let's have fun studying and playing with the rhythm bones of our favorite songs!
