Unit 4: Playing in a Band

About this unit:

In this unit you will perform and compose a pop song. You will learn to play 4 chords on the keyboard and ukulele or guitar. You will learn about the building blocks of harmony and tonality and the relationships within these. You will also learn some funky rhythmic patterns.

You will have a choice of which songs you want to perform and then have a go at composing your own backing track.

What's in it for me?

What does it take to play in a band? What skills and knowledge do you need? Thousands of pop songs from Rock to Pop use the same 4 chords. If you can play these on the keyboard and ukulele or guitar, know some cool rhythms and can open your mouth and sing, you are well on your way to performing 100s of songs you'll know and maybe even composing your own No.1 hit!!
