Caxixi Duet - "Basic Training"This short duo provides a context in which to apply basic shaker/Caxixi techniques (a pair of woven basket shakers for each player). Also included on this page is a group of caxixi studies/pattern combinations which could be played by a duo, trio, or quartet (in a sort of "round" compositional structure), perhaps allowing development of a simple technical foundation.
Further Caxixi exercises, studies, and accompanying photos can be found within the "Percussion Exercises" pages. |
