Price:
$35.00
This delightful new book and DVD set presented by Estêvão Marques shows how
a pair of simple everyday objects can be turned into a fun and versatile
percussion instrument. Spoon playing is a part of musical cultures from around
the world, and in
Colherim traditional spoon playing techniques are adapted to recreate
the sounds and rhythms found in a variety of Brazilian musical styles, including
choro, Samba and baião. The book begins with an introduction to the
history
and technique of spoon playing, and each rhythm is then described and taught
in detail and demonstrated on the accompanying DVD. The book also includes
instructions for the Beat Card
Game, in which these rhythms are combined and played over a steady beat in
ways that are meant to mimic the
cross-cultural influences found in Brazilian music.From the forward by
Magda Pucci: "In a clear and objective way,
Estevão creates a series of activities that can be used by anyone. They are
illustrated by videos that show the spoons being used in several Brazilian
musical styles ... His experience as a musician of several groups, many of them
working with children, in addition to the workshops he has been giving all
around, gave him a large toolbox of creative musical ideas that are written
playfully in this book, showing his skills on the subject."Book (printed
in
Portuguese and English) and DVD (in Portuguese with English subtitles).
