WORKSHOPS

Composing music and exploring musical genres


       1. Song-writing: An overview of the elements of song writing such as song form, melody, harmony, introductions and endings.  (all ages) Participants need pencil and paper and I need a blackboard.
        2. Chart-writing: Explaining the written language of musical communication  (i.e. the staff, notes, time signatures, musical symbols, chord symbols etc.) and the tools used in communicating musical ideas to other musicians.  (For school or community bands and individuals with musical aptitudes) Materials requirements are as listed in activity 1.
        3. Guitar workshops*: Group instruction for all ability levels. Materials requirements are as listed in activity number one.  Bring your guitar.
        4. Vocal and performance instruction: Breathing, movement, self-expression, and stress reduction techniques for performers. Materials requirements are as listed in activity 1.  Bring your performance materials.
        5. Brazilian samba: An interactive workshop that teaches the rhythms, instruments, history and spirit of samba.  A stick, bottle, block of wood,  box, a can of dried beans and you've got fun for all who desire to play rhythms, dance and celebrate in the Brazilian tradition.  (grades 7 to adult) Most band-rooms have sufficient implements.  I have many instruments and will talk with you about extras that may be used or needed.
        6.  Salsa class/workshop: The history and culture behind the Latin traditions that contribute to the music we now categorize as “Salsa”.  From the Cuban “son” to the Venezuelan “valse” the Caribbean basin brings us many elements that are prominent in world popular music.  Learn to play several of the instruments that characterize these styles.  Peter Queal’s latest CD production of; Conjunto Varietal “DeCuba pa’Trinidad” ties in perfectly with this informative, interactive look at Salsa (grades 7 to adult). Materials requirements are as listed in activity 5.

*The guitar is a melodic, harmonic, multi timbral, solo, ensemble, accompaniment, composition/arrangement tool that is inexpensive, portable, low maintenance, relatively quiet, and fun!  Know more about how to play and teach guitar!  If done correctly, students learn in every style.  Play guitar by reading music or tablature, by ear, by example and experimentation. I'll show you how!
Many students want to play the guitar.  An observer/teacher can turn experimentation into concrete technique and musicality to fuel the desire to play music.
