Samba whistles and the C major scale

May 13, 2009 Blue Lily

Is it possible? Could I range the pitch enough to complete one octave of the C major scale? I’d love to find out. Because that would be pretty awesome.

Well, I had a rehearsal for school Batucada today, and Phil brought in his Repinique so that the group could hear what it sounds like. Then he asked me my name and then he told the group about my participation in Capoeira and the Batucada workshop that He did with us Soul Capoeiristas. Then he told the group that I had played the Repinique before and that I would be leading them in some future performances. That was a little bit embarrassing, because everyone kind of stared at me after that. So I ended up playing the Middle Surdo with a serious face, for fear that I would start to laugh. Afterwards, I carried two of the drums back to the store room and put them away in their places like I always do.

But I’m really excited, that I’m performing twice in week five, once at the international assembly and once at the Norwood town hall 30th May.

Axé Capoeiristas!
