Starting from the basics, students will learn a variety of topics that will help them understand music at a deeper level. At the end of this four-week program, students will have had the chance to implement the ideas learned from class into their very own mini-composition project.
WEEK 1: note reading, major/minor scales, key signatures, circle of 5ths, scale degrees
WEEK 2: rhythm, rests, time signatures
WEEK 3: intervals and triads
WEEK 4: diatonic chords, cadences, harmony
At the end of this session, you will leave with a video of your very own composition. You will have a chance to choose your own set of accompanying instruments from our instructors/mentors or take on the challenge to play it yourself!
