Hey everyone! Keeping a steady rhythm can be a challenging task to achieve for beginner players. Simply turning the metronome on is a good first step but might not be all that helpful. If you're a visual learner, like me, it helps to 'see' the rhythm along with hearing the beat of the metronome. So follow Buddy Blue, the rhythm ball, through 15 songs/exercises that will help strengthen your rhythm. You can use this as a class warmup by projecting it onto a Promethean board or you can practice in front of your computer at home. Happy practicing! Link in Bio OR https://youtu.be/_OzxpstRP0M

Follow along and practice singing your vowels (E, I, A, O, U) through all twelve keys! (plus the octave😎👍🏻) Link in Bio OR https://youtu.be/OB8ZzFTK4uw

E is pronounced "ay" (as in "hay")
I is pronounced "ee" (as in "bee")
A is pronounced "ah" (as in "bah")
O is pronounced "oh" (as in "row")
U is pronounced "oo" (as in "pool")

Happy singing!

An iconic solo from an iconic tune: ☀️ Sunshine of Your Love ❤️ by Cream is a rock classic. The song ranked number 65 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time". Bassist Jack Bruce wrote the classic riff after seeing 🙌🏻Jimi Hendrix 🙌🏻 in concert in 1967 and unofficially dedicated it to him. ‼️So, thanks, Jimi for inspiring this one‼️🙏 Enjoy Eric Clapton’s buttery solo on this timeless tune 🤘🏻

Today we’ll be creating some funky body beats that you can perform by yourself as a one-person self-contained drum machine! We’re only going to be using 3 sounds - a CHEST thump, a finger SNAP and a leg PAT -- I might sneak in another (can you guess which one?) So the challenge here is the coordination it’s going to take to blend all these sounds together. If you keep practicing, your coordination will get better; when this happens and you can play one pattern really well, start blending the different patterns together.
