Joan Terol Amigó

This workshop serves as an introduction to one of the most important elements of music. Rhythm is a qualitative division of time and a fundamental element of music that is perceived through the senses and movements. The aim is to expand expressive and musical skills by discovering and exploring the elements that make up rhythm.

Tempo, meter, pulsation and subdivision are key concepts to set up a solid foundation that allows for accurate execution of rhythm. These basic concepts will be worked on through different auditory examples and practical exercises (with and without an instrument).

Workshop led by musician Joan Terol Amigó, an initiative promoted thanks to the collaboration with Andreu Julià and the music schools of Llucmajor and Esporles.
