Starting from a single chord and moving into multi-chord progressions, players learn to tell a musical story through improvisation. For intermediate-level musicians & up. Note: Must be able to play/supply your own instrument. Ages 8+ How Music Works: For Non-Musicians is class assumes no prior music expertise, and you do not need to be able to read music. In the first six week session, we delve into the origins of music itself, and our perceptions of it. We use examples from multiple eras and genres – everything from Chant and Bach, to jazz and hip-hop, to discuss both the universals in melody, harmony, and rhythm. Ages 15+ How Music Works: For Adult Amateurs is class requires at least basic music reading ability and assumes you have played an instrument or sung. You do not need to be a professional. We start from the beginning and will delve into not only the how of harmony, rhythm, and form but also the why. e course takes a holistic approach to music, using examples from multiple periods, genres, and styles. From classical and jazz to blues, pop, and hip-hop. e first six-week session focuses on diatonic harmony, modes, and song forms. Subsequent segments will delve into chromaticism, advanced modes, and various modern techniques. Ages 15+ Discover our Youth Summer Musical on page 26.
