Description
Students will study chord structure, chord
progressions, and the fundamentals of melody,
harmony, scales, and key signatures. Students
will learn how to create music together
through repeated practice and jam sessions.
Improvisational skills and sharing group “musical
space” will enhance students’ knowledge of the
principals of rhythm and syncopation, and how
singing and lyrics can add another dimension.
Learning how to compose original music through
the observation of other musicians’ work will
benefit students’ preparation for a performance at
the end of the semester. No experience required,
