Description

Class Experience

Understanding the laws governing the art of sound enhances our ability to appreciate, enjoy, and even remember music. We will start with 
concrete musical examples and seek to extract their theoretical premises. Topics include the overtones series, music intervals, scales, and chords. We will use a repertory of well-known themes, songs, and large-scale compositions, from “Greensleeves” to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 and from “Flight of the Bumblebee” to “Star Wars,” to expand our understanding...

This class is taught in English.

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

1 hour per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
