Rhythm section

Objectives and content
The course is aimed at rhythm students (pianists, guitarists, vibraphonists, bassists and drummers). Groups are formed by year.

A rotating timetable allows each group (^1st,^2nd or^3rd year) to work alternately with the 3 teachers.
Programme
Develop reflexes and interactivity within the rhythm section. Understand and assimilate the mechanics of accompanying soloists - singers or solo instrumentalists are invited to classes from time to time. Work on the various 'tandems' within the rhythm section. Work on polyrhythms and equivalences. The repertoire used as a basis for the work is made up of standards specific to the rhythm section, current and original compositions or free improvisations.
Assessment terms and conditions

The teachers draw up a list of pieces that the students have to perform in front of a jury, demonstrating their mastery of the accompaniment as well as their ability to react and interact within the rhythm section.

These pieces are chosen from a broader list given at the beginning of the year, which serves as a basis for weekly work.
