Summary of This Method
75 Rhythmic Games Leading to 5 Polyrhythmic Compositions offers a complete immersion into the world of body percussion, now recognized for its educational, therapeutic, and artistic benefits. The approach advocated here is simple and essential: rediscover the body as the primary instrument, capable of giving sound an immediately sensory, expressive, and musical dimension.
Through "Toumback," Stéphane Grosjean provides a series of body exercises designed as rhythmic games. Each proposal invites shaping sound "with bare hands": deep bass tones on the chest, variations of claps, sharp attacks of finger snaps, softer hits on the thighs, foot stomps to establish a bass line... not to mention the voice, a true engine that articulates the energy of the gesture and the pulse. The whole allows for progressive coordination work (hands, feet, voice), while naturally developing choreographic cues and body schema awareness.
This method is intended for both musicians and non-musicians. It is suitable for individual use to feel and structure rhythm but truly comes alive in a group setting: in workshops, schools, conservatories, groups of children, adolescents, or adults, to build a genuine orchestra of body polyrhythms. The presence of dual musical notation facilitates learning for all profiles: traditional notation for those who read music, and clear charts for intuitive reading without music theory knowledge.
Finally, the DVD plays a crucial role: a true visual and audio translator of each exercise, it accelerates understanding and implementation, both rhythmically and choreographically as well as scenically. Its chaptering, aligned with the progression of the book, makes it a tool always available to calmly explore these new musical territories. Preface by Gérard Authelain.
