This class is a great way for your student to begin their journey into music. We will approach music in an engaging and practical way that is great for beginners to learn music theory and build musicianship skills. The class is interactive and the learners are encouraged to actively participate throughout the class. This class is perfect for those who are learning an instrument, would like to learn an instrument, or who love to sing! Since this is a beginning level class, no prior knowledge of music is required, although having a basis of music can be helpful - all are welcome! It is equivalent to one semester of music theory. The last 5 minutes of class is allotted for students to share what they've been working on in lessons, the opportunity to perform something, or to ask questions. Curriculum: Class 1: The music staff, note values, identifying and reading notes on the treble clef Class 2: Bass clef, rhythm, rest values, double bar lines, repeat signs Class 3: Time signatures, accidentals Class 4: Half steps, whole steps, scale degrees, constructing a major scale Class 5: Intervals solfege Class 6: Tempo markings, melody, musical phrasing, dynamics Class 7: Intro to key signatures, discuss final presentation Class 8: Presentation on a composer of student's choice, Review Miss Brooke is very patient and is passionate about teaching music to her students. She can't wait to meet your learner and dive into the exciting world of music theory!
