Miss Dehner was SO excited to teach this class again and it's been a great time "strummin our way to 11:59!" We have enjoyed playing songs individually and as a class, writing our own blues, creating our own riffs, playing popular music from various genres, and we even brought in a guest artist professional guitar player, Frank Velardo! We also can't forget our amazing virtual student teacher from Temple University shredding away on his guitar, Mr. George Kurtas! Our quote of the semester is:
"You Look Like You Sound GREAT!!"
Enjoy our hybrid guitar times! :-)

Writing our OWN Riffs!
C&C is a semester-long, required course that is team taught by the art and music departments at LMHS. Through exploring identity, expression, storytelling, impact, and reaction, students engage in self-selected projects. These projects are centered in a variety of mediums, including music-making and storytelling through media.
The following projects were created during the "storytelling" unit in C&C. Students created stories and chose creative ways to share their work.
Soundtrap Mix was created on the cloud-based Digital Audio Workstation, Soundtrap. Rachel found loops of similar tempos to create a fluid, moving mix that explores multiple styles and genres.
Vaness created this project entirely on her phone using drawing and editing software. She says, "it’s a story of self realization and finding yourself and how hard it could be. The story leaves on a cliffhanger because the character hasn’t gone through the full journey of finding his identity."
This song, unexpected, is an experimental instrumental track created on Soundtrap using samples.
The Ballad of 2020 was created remotely over google met. Gabriella improvised a chord progression and Abby created a saxophone melody to record on top of it.
