Advanced Finger Cymbals with Ansuya - DVD

In this DVD, Ansuya will help you take your zilling to new levels! You'll learn 6/8, 9/8, Masmoudi Kabir (8/4), Ayoub, and Beledi (4/4) patterns, and using Singles for accents. You will learn specific technique, then pick up the speed as you follow along with the music. Each zill pattern is accompanied by movements that fit the rhythm, so you can perfect your playing while you dance. Next, join Ansuya in a practice session "zill drill" to master each pattern and perfect transitioning from one rhythm to another. Ansuya also teaches you how to introduce variations in to your zill patterns, including varying the sounds your zills make. Then she'll lead you through blending rhythms and improvising to have fun and add your own interpretation to the music. The program concludes with a performance by Ansuya using her finger cymbals to add musical energy and excitement to her dance!
