The Big Book of Movements: Complete guide to rhythmic movements for musicians

The big book of movements It is a musical method to develop the rhythmic sense through the physical coordination of both hands or feet. Although it is ideal for drummers and percussionists of any style or instrument, it is aimed at musicians in general, whether they are singers, pianists, bassists, guitarists, etc. who wish to maximize their musical potential by strengthening their rhythmic and emotional senses. This issue covers ALL POSSIBLE COMBINATIONS of movement patterns for hands or feet. They are grouped in diagrams of different amounts of figures(2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16) this organization allows us to exercise an infinity of rhythmic patterns playing with a large number of metrics, binary ternary and irregular. Instrumentalists, improvisers and composers, whether rhythmic, melodic or harmonic, have in this method a large number of resources that facilitate the incorporation and articulationof thousands of RHYTHMIC PATTERNS that, when exercised, generate their own MOVEMENT LANGUAGE and directly revitalize the creative flow. . Rhythm is one of the vital and structural forces in existence, it is the powerful spirit of themovements that give order to the events of nature. Taken this concept to the musical plane, the rhythm itself through repetition, gives direction, fluidity and above all, FORM and STRUCTUREEach musical phrase is a physical (or ethereal) object with defined outlines and shapes, and precisely the exact limits of those outlines and shapes are created primarily by rhythmic movement. Take the example of a chord or a melody, without rhythm, they are amorphous, they have no duration or pauses, they lack powerful energy, they lack definite shapes. As musicians we can know about scales, arpeggios, harmony, reading, etc. But for these elements to acquire a vital and dynamic meaning, expressing it metaphorically, we must apply the breath of a god in a doll (made of clay) so that it transforms into a being of flesh and blood with a soul, we must give shape and life to our music through rhythmic movement. By incorporating these concepts, based on expanding the soul and rhythmic awareness, we will have acquired a great tool to enhance our creativity and the more concrete and rich our music will be.
