搖滾夏日

Hello! My name is Cole and I have been teaching music lessons for close to ten years now. My patient teaching style fosters a relaxed classroom atmosphere in which even the shyest student can feel comfortable expressing themself. Allowing some time for classroom banter is a priority of mine.

This 4-week music camp will be structured with a "school-of-rock" style of format. Each week, we will learn a new summer-themed rock 'n roll song. During the live meeting, students will (one at a time) learn the parts for their specific instrument. Then, if time allows, I will ask all students to mute themselves as I lead them in the song, with hopes that they are able to jam along with me.

Because I can only teach one instrument part at a time, I will make sure that every instrumentalist has something to do while they are waiting. I.E. keyboardists and guitarists will be given scale exercises that are pertinent to the song or drummers will be given a simple groove to practice while they wait.

Depending on factors such as skill level and stylistic preference, I will pick 4 songs from this group:

- "Wipeout!" by The Surfaris
- "In The Sun" by Blondie
- "Vacation" by The Go-Go's
- "Feels Like Summer" by Childish Gambino
- "Final Summer" by Cloud Nothings
- "Summertime Blues" by Eddie Cochran
- "Surfin' USA" by the Beach Boys
- "Misirlou" by Dick Dale
