"A Masterclass with Jacqueline Vann"
A VDM Masterclass with Jacqueline Vann (England)
In this class we will explore groups of two and three, duplets and triplets. They can go together very simply to make unequal beats, and they can be superimposed to make polyrhythms. My hope is that you will take away a musical experience for yourself, and also something you can apply to your own teaching.
