Unit 5: The Beauty of Baroque

About this unit:

In this unit you will give a performance of a famous piece of Baroque Music which combines musical ideas that stay the same with ideas that are ever changing. You will develop your ability to play the keyboard using both hands and further performance skills on any melodic instrument you are learning to play. You will learn about performance practices in the late 18th century, and craft your own Baroque melody fit for a king.

What's in it for me?

This unit provides you with a further opportunity to strengthen your keyboard skills, which can be applied to all kinds of music making. You will develop your ability to maintain your own individual part within a group performance, and will unlock the secret to writing melodies, chords and basslines that sound good together - an essential skill for all aspiring composers.
