Brief Biographical Sketch:
Let's see: I love life, family, MIT, meeting people, food, friends, and new experiences (try to guess the order!). I engage in a random, cacophanous, chaotic, yet fantastic hodge-podge of personal interests. (DDR, computers, beatboxing, cooking, running, and music all make the list) I love to teach people about things that interest me, so I'm looking forward to having a blast with you all! Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)X4392: Learn Beatboxing! in Splash! 2010 (Nov. 20 - 21, 2010)
You may have seen it on TV, on YouTube, or perhaps even some of your cooler friends can do it, but you probably decided that beatboxing, while awesome, is something you will never learn to do. Well, after this class, you will be popping beats like a pro! This class is a jam-packed start to the world to beatboxing: basic sounds and techniques, rhythms, future resources, and insight into beatbox culture will all be explored. The class, however, is designed to be super-accessible to people of all levels (read: those of you with absolutely NO experience with anything musical, let alone vocal percussion, have nothing to worry about!). Hope to see you there!!
W4441: Learn Chinese Yo-Yo / Diabolo in Splash! 2010 (Nov. 20 - 21, 2010)
The Chinese yo-yo (or diabolo) is an ancient toy believed to have originated from the Ming Dynasty between 1386 and 1644 AD. It is pulled with two sticks connected by a string and can whistle at higher speeds. Unlike its Western counterpart, the Chinese yo-yo is not connect to string, allowing more complicated tricks to be performed. Today, not only has it evolved into a distinctive performance art, but it also serves as a unique reminder of Chinese heritage and culture.
