Students will practice the seven sounds of the Conga Drum including the open tone (played with the four fingers near the rim of the head), the bass tone or tono bajo (played with the full palm on the head that produces a low muted sound), various slaps or tonos secos (a difficult technique producing a loud clear "popping" sound), and muff tones.

Beginner players will also learn all sorts of practical tips and movements such as "heel toe" finishing with a basic Guaguancó rhythm. Visit http://dancepapi.com'>http://dancepapi.com for more free conga tutorials.
