Description

This course is designed to help students develop a better understanding of music by presenting the opportunity to experience music “as a musician.” Students learn basic music theory, develop rudimentary musicianship skills, and use that experience to compose and rehearse student compositions. The goal is for each student to be able to compose, rehearse, and then perform his or her own original music. The workshop meets in a professional music rehearsal studio where students have access to a wide variety of musical instruments and other resources. The course culminates in a public recital of works written and performed by students.
