Rhythm with Finger Cymbals
Who
Hilary Thacker
Hilary was originally trained in the Alexander Technique - a technique for body awareness - and had a practice working with professional musicians in London.
Hilary now has a successful dancing practice based in Edinburgh. She has been teaching and performing in the UK and the Middle East for the past fifteen years, specialising in the sagat and veil. She also plays Middle Eastern percussion and performed with the Egyptian band in the recent Farha Festival.
Last year her holiday courses went in a new direction with dancing, sagat and drumming on a Bedouin trip with camels in the Tunisian Sahara.
Hilary's Bazaar in Edinburgh has been open now for five years, the UK's first shop selling Middle Eastern dance costumes and musical instruments.
What
Learn about the different rhythms played in Egyptian music. Then how to play finger cymbals with them, and dance as well! This is a real opportunity for those who want to improve their skills and for those who have never played cymbals before.
Issam Houshan will accompany this class on darabuka.
