Body Music with Keith Terry

Using the oldest instrument on the planet—the human body—we clap, slap, snap, step and vocalize our way through some very fun and funky, original and traditional rhythmic music. BODY MUSIC is an effective way of internalizing rhythmic work, which enhances the development of time, timing, phrasing, listening skills, independence, coordination and ensemble awareness. It is a useful tool for musicians, dancers and movers of all kinds, actors, DJs and film editors — anyone interested in deepening their rhythmic skills. 3-session series (recommended in sequence) Feb. 6 – Body Music around the world Feb. 13 – Mapping the Body with Rhythm Blocks Feb. 20 – Exploring Independence with Hands, Feet and Voice Keith Terry is a percussionist / rhythm dancer / educator / body musician specializing in rhythmic work with an international and cultural perspective.
