Rhythm According to Kevin Part 2 with Kevin Man. 2-3pm Sun Aug 27 - Term 3 2017
Term 3
Fees
$15 Full / $10 Concession
Workshops
Workshopping the application of ARSIS - THESIS concept discussed in "Rhythm according to Kevin Part 1"
With an Australian-Born-Chinese background, Kevin studied piano with Stephanie McCallum and classical percussion with Richard Miller before discovering traditional Japanese instruments. Leaving a full-time position with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra Kevin spent the last 15 years playing taiko with Taikoz (learning taiko with Ian Cleworth and other members) and expanding skills to shinobue and shakuhachi (with Riley Lee). He recently returned in 2016 to symphonic percussion as a permanent member of the Opera Australia Orchestra (formerly the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra).
Recognising the need for teachers to pass on knowledge to the next generation (and acknowledging Kevin’s teachers), this lecture presentation will see Kevin articulate what he believes to be the most important tool in creating expression through a system of treating rhythm. It is a hands-on workshop using a piece of music and examples to highlight the system of note-grouping to create a musical and expressive performance.
What to bring - bachi if you have your own. If a non-taiko player then we can provide bachi for the session.
Suitability - ages senior high school and up. Ideally attendance at "Rhythm according to Kevin Part 1” is important, but not essential. Taiko experience is not essential if you play another musical instrument.
