The title of this class may lead to an overly broad concept of what this class is about. In this course, we will explore as many genres of music as we can, as well as learn the building blocks of music. In this endeavor we will: gain an understanding of music composition, creation, performance, what it takes to be a performing musician, as well as what makes music, well, music!
Students will have an opportunity to create and express their own music at different times throughout the class. It is my hope that this can be an exciting break from the classroom "norm", while delivering a fantastic educational experience that students will take with them throughout life.Â
Music is the one common language throughout the world. I am looking forward to diving into our universal language as a group!
