Finger Drumming Techniques

ILEL-215

This course covers fundamental finger drumming techniques for creating and performing electronic music using pad-based controllers such as the Ableton Push, Novation Launchpad, and Native Instruments Maschine. Students develop a personal sound set that can be used to produce original works. Emphasis is placed on developing the physical dexterity to execute rhythmic performances using these sound sets. The course explores a wide range of strategies in a variety of solo and ensemble settings where the student performs remixes, mash-ups, and original compositions.
