Class Experience

Week of April 12th - Rhythm
Week of April 19th - Melody
Week of April 26th - Harmony
Week of May 3rd - Form
Week of May 10th - Texture

Each class will begin with a short lesson on that week's...

Students will be able to...
...understand the elements of music and how they come together to form a whole musical sound.  
...listen to musical examples and identify the various elements of music.
...use their understanding to create original pieces of music.
...give and receive constructive feedback about their creative work.
