2011.03.30 - Marimbas, a dulcimer and Norwegian wood

The music students this week were Bleu ( drummer and violinist ), Zen ( didj master and lead hums ), Eliza and Sharon on marimbas and dulcimer, and me ;) Alf and Lugh also came by.

The session started with Bleu's beats - they are great to get into the rhythm, then we moved on to marimbas and Sharon found a dulcimer too - interesting combinations. Then Bleu got out her violin - and I ( Sun ) was trying to learn melodies from Bleu and played them on my violin. Then came some chanting in Arabic and I also experimented with creating an Arabic sounding tune using only 4 notes - it worked out quite well ;)

We ended the session with learning the chords of Norwegian Wood :
