The Rhythm Center offered a series of “miniature” group lessons this Summer and at the end of the summer session we decided to do some recording projects. Here is a podcast about the second recording project we did in the studio. The musicians in this recording are two young men who worked together throughout the summer. These young men started the summer a bit timid but as each lesson passed they became more and more extroverted. Every student I had this summer kept me smiling and laughing with their humorous personalities. I like to call this project the “Testing Testing Tap Tap Tap,” project. 
As summer classes drew to a close and the school year approached The Rhythm Center turned into a private recording studio for my students.

I was working in my studio the other day as I waited for my next student to arrive. I had a lesson plan in mind, that included snare drum exercises and drum set work. However, I would end up abandoning that plan for djembes, congas, cabasas, surdos, and shakers…

As the net makes it’s way out of the water…” |
