Description

Class Experience

*Prerequisite: at least 3 months of piano lessons or a basic understanding of the notes C-D-E-F-G.  No prior knowledge of composition is required!
*Note: Pentascale is just a fancy word for the five fingers used in the C position (CDEFG)

In this 8-day camp, learners will explore the C major and C minor pentascales and write melodies and lyrics for songs based on simple templates.  Learners will dive into basic song forms, patterns, and motifs.  The teacher will be reviewing basics of music...

Learners will design and compose songs and create lyrics and titles for their songs.

Learners may have some outside work to do on their songs if they don’t finish in class.

Learners should have access to a piano or keyboard, a pencil, and a highlighter.  I will be posting PDFs to use each day as well as manuscript paper.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Informal assessment from the instructor and peers
