GENERAL MUSIC

General Music:

Ever want to play music? Students will create, perform, and experience music using a variety of instruments and technology. Students will study music genres such as pop, rock, country, jazz, and blues, as well as how movie music makes the scene. At the end of the course students will put together small ensembles of their choice for a final performance experience!
