COURSE MATERIALS #1: MUSIC MIX
Urbankick provides a premixed music mix set at 150bpms for you to use and is located in your Introduction to Musicality Section. If you are not satisfied with this mix, you are welcome to use any music you prefer throughout the course but the mix must be a continuous beat, follow the 32 count musical phrase, and be between 144-150 bpms. We also recommend downloading the Tempo Magic App on your phone. It allows you to control the pitch and tempo directly from you phone.
