World Grooves

Capture the spirit of calypso, zydeco, bossa nova, gospel, jigs, jazz and more with this unique collection of global rhythm styles. Each ensemble includes 3 to 4 rhythm parts for classroom percussion instruments, and one part is always the pulse. Parts for optional Orff instruments and piano are also included for additional layers of tone color. The enclosed CD offers 2 recorded tracks for each groove, an instructional track, and a play-along track without the percussion instruments for the flexibility of adding any number of performers. PDFs of all the parts are included on the Enhanced CD. All parts are 4 to 8 measures, and once they are secure, the parts can be layered in one-at-a-time, in different orders.
