Learn more about Latin rhythm!
For those of you who are interested in learning more about the percussion instruments in Latin music and how they create the rich and complex rhythms of salsa, merengue, and cha-cha-cha, I have just posted a new review of Poncho Sanchez: Fundamentals of Latin Music for the Rhythm Section (2005). Visit the Articles page or the Resources page to read more and purchase Poncho’s DVD and music. Then check out other Latin music, books, and videos recommended by Joy in Motion. If you have a favorite that isn’t listed, be sure to email me by visiting the Contact page.
Welcome to the Joy in Motion Website!
I am very excited to announce that the Joy in Motion website is finally live!
Welcome, and please be sure to check out all the features on this site, including the articles, links, resources, and the updates you will find on this page. Since this site is in its infancy, please email me your feedback on the content and functionality as well as any ideas you may have for ways to improve and grow.
I would like to thank all my current newsletter subscribers for their support of Joy in Motion thus far. I would especially like to thank Heather, Latingal, Sarah, and Richard (a.k.a. Dad) for their feedback and encouragement during the early stages of planning and developing this site. And a huge thank you to Taughnee, my fantastic web designer, for all her hard work.
Enjoy!
