Notes about the ONLINE Audio/Video Players:

  • The mute button is in the lower right-hand corner of the Player. Use your computer's playback volume controls.  Since most of you will be playing along to these, I'd recommend wearing headphones so you can really crank it up!

  • Click anywhere on the Player you're interested in.  Then click on the play/pause button in the lower left-hand corner (has a white, right-pointing triangle on it).  If the session is fully loaded, the horizontal bar to the right of the play/pause button will be completely grey - please be patient if it's not complete, but you should still be able to start playing it.  You can slide the white, upward-pointing triangle to the left to fast-rewind or to the right to fast-forward, while either in play or pause mode.
  
     
 

 

FREE Instrument Role-Guidelines Introduction Video-4307:

 
 
  • This touches on the many aspects of building a solid foundation of essential skills needed to effectively make music with others. Here, we’re applying them to build a Drum Circle Groove, but you can take these principles and apply them to ANY music situation - ALL musicians can greatly benefit from these ideas.

  • Krakatoa's Instrument Role-Guidelines are like the “walls” in a building. Once you have the solid foundation or “floor” of the Krakatoa Skill-Set Packages, you can start erecting the “walls.” Then, you can create any shaped musical “house” you want! Understanding where the “walls” are allows you the freedom to create any Style of music you desire by playing effectively with other musicians - it keeps you from stepping on each other’s musical toes. Each of us is like a piece in the “puzzle” of music. It’s vital to understand what your piece is to make a beautiful musical “picture.” Without these Guidelines, you end up covering someone up or getting covered up yourself, conflicting with the Groove, “muddying” up the music, or in some other way distracting from the potential beauty of the music.
