Salsa CONGAS Instrument Study

Salsa CONGAS Instrument Study

Among the most common questions from students in private-lessons, all over the world, are these: (a) should I buy congas or another musical instrument to help me understand DANCING or MUSIC better? (b) I have congas (or another instrument) but I don't know how to play them the way I should - can you teach me? (c) I know how to play the congas (or another instrument) but I want to learn that technique that I see you using in your videos - can I take some lessons with you?

Answers: YES, YES, and absolutely YES!!!

Because of the recent situation around the world, most of our students have shifted online from all the cities to which we've been traveling - but also especially in the local areas. So, many dancers are now taking this time to brush up or learn what they've always wanted to learn - how to play any of the Afro-Cuban (Salsa) instruments and how to become BETTER DANCERS by learning how to play an instrument better!!

Wow!!! There's no way to express the GREAT JOY there is to watch dancers develop SO QUICKLY because they bought an instrument AND took the proper amount of lessons and learned the proper techniques to get the sounds and look they have been wanting!

In this program for CONGAS, the seven excellent lessons are as follows:

01 .. "Acoustic Sounds & Tuning" .. this one IMPORTANT hour is all about the acoustic sounds which the tumbadora and the congas are capable of (the bigger one is called "tumbadora" and the smaller one is called "conga" / both are universally called "congas"), and how to tune your drums and the techniques to tune your congas

02 .. "Hand Techniques" .. this lesson consists of two one-hour sessions (most effective when taken on different days) and is about the proper hand techniques required to produce the acoustic sounds of the tumbadora as well as the conga

03 .. "Practical Application" .. this AMAZING lesson consists of two one-hour sessions of applying the techniques to practical tempos and settings (this is one of the most popular AND challenging of all these amazing Congas lessons because it challenges you to REALLY apply your hand techniques and gestures. It's an AMAZING lesson that many students ask to take more than once!

04 .. "Montuno Tumbao" .. now that you're great with your hand techniques and gestures, here is another EXCELLENT lesson of two one-hour sessions which teach you how to play the most popular and standard tumbao for instructors and social-only dancers of On1/On2/Casino!!! This is the tumbao you may have heard played a million times from musicality workshops of many other instructors. Here, you learn both the 3/2 clave direction as well as the 2/3 clave direction. You will be given three different songs to play along to; each one a different tempo.

05 .. "Son Tumbao" .. wow wow wow! This lesson is also one of the most popular because you learn how to play the Son tumbao, which is the OFFICIAL tumbao of Afro-Cuban music and is popular with On2/Son dancers around the world; you learn the 2/3 clave. This lesson consists of two one-hour sessions in which you will learn how to play the Son tumbao to a Son-Montuno as well as a Mambo! It's quite easy to see why THIS lesson is by far the most popular of the Salsa Congas program!

06 .. "Bolero Tumbao" .. This lesson is a one-hour class during which you learn how to effectively play the Bolero rhythm as well as the Bolero-Son rhythm; both are similar but are distinguished between the first and second beats

07 .. "Rumba & Guaguancó Tumbaos" .. oh wow wow!!!!! THIS is the second-most-popular of the Congas program! Why? Because it's in the title: "Rumba & Guaguancó "! Many dancers and musicians have taken this entire Congas course JUST to get to this stage because it is considered the King of Afro-Cuban technique; many believe that to know how to play the basic Rumba & Guaguancó tumbaos is to truly understand the essence of the ROOTS of Afro-Cuban music and dance. Indeed, knowing how to play these rhythms changes you as a dancer on so many levels! This lesson consists of three one-hour sessions. It is not difficult but it's challenging and DEFINITELY worth it!!!!

08 .. "Assisted Practice" .. this is an open hour, during which can be ordered at any time through the course. You can order this after each lesson or whenever you want. Most students, after they've achieved their groove, want to practice while being observed to get reassurances and tips. These are extremely popular and highly suggested! Basically, you show what you're doing - and you will get real-time adjustments to your techniques plus you will be sent different songs to challenge yourself to.
