1 hora por semana. Students will be expected to play their instrument to practice the song/s they write in class for 5-15 minutes daily (or every other day!), so they are familiar enough to play the song in class.Experiencia de clase
This in-depth, hands-on 4-day camp continues an easy song-writing process for young beginner musicians of any instrument. This music camp is perfect for musicians on spring break or summer vacation! First, we will review melody-making using motives as students learned in the Part 1 class. Then, I will teach some basic rules for harmonizing using easy-to-play chords. We will then conclude the course with an introduction to the reading and writing on the staff using Noteflight and use this free, online composing tool to generate professional-looking sheet music. The class is structured so that the majority of the learning happens with discussion and hands-on work. Students will be need to be willing to share their work and discuss it with me and their fellow classmates. Students will also be given homework to practice and expand upon the concepts that we discuss in class. Written homework assignments will be due before class each week so that I can provide feedback and guidance. Pre-requisites: This class is not limited by instruments or genres. The concepts we will work on can be used in any kind of song! Intermediate level musicians with experience writing songs using motives are welcome, or you can take the "Part 1" version of this Camp: https://outschool.com/classes/song-writing-for-young-musicians-camp-1-woxDLFwg or the Weekly Class "Part 1" version: https://outschool.com/classes/song-writing-for-young-musicians-part-1-oKeVNd39 *** Students do NOT need to be able to fully read understand sheet music to take this class. We will learn some sight-reading basics later in the class; the technology (Noteflight) will help with this as well. *** Day 1 Review Melody-making with Motives and Motive Transformations Harmonizing with Simple Chords AABA Form Day 2 Introduction to Noteflight and Writing on the Staff Discuss alternate ways to express Chords Day 3 Reading on the Staff and Trouble-shooting in Noteflight Day 4 Brainstorm new ideas for future song-writing Methods for creating longer songs Opportunity to perform final works External App: Students will be creating their final work in Noteflight, an external internet app for music composition.

Parents will need to create and verify a FREE account on Noteflight.com by Day 6 of the course. No need to give away personal information nor sign on to a "trial" version.
