The other zills thread made me think of this and I suppose I could (and should and will) ask my teacher, but I'll pose it to you guys here.
How do you pick music if you want to perform with zills?
I've been taking a zills class and my teacher has songs with all of the rhythms we've learned thus far--gallop, 3 3 7, baladi, masmoudi, chiftetelli, saidi, etc. (Sorry if I butchered all those spellings.) But I know she's choosing them so that we can hear the beat and play along, not necessarily for performance. So to all you zill afficionados, how do you decide?
