WEEK 2: THE DIASPORA, THE BACKBEAT Assignment

Practice and learn to sing and drum at the same time one of the 4 songs from Week 2, OR a song of your choice, and apply the R&B / Rock rhythms and arrangement techniques where relevant (fills, breaks, transitions).

POST IN A COMMENT HERE a reflection about your process. 

(You are, of course, welcome to learn more than one of these songs if you have the inspiration and capacity. For this assignment, you can just focus on one.)
