This course will explore the ways in which sound is organized into musical structures. Topics will include rhythm, form, harmony, melody and color. Skills will also be developed in sight-reading, rhythm exercises, ear training, basic keyboard and improvisation. Students will learn to be active listeners, the course is "hands on” with instrument participation.
During the semester enrolled students will attend a live performance in the Boston area. The Musician’s Tool Box will develop students’ awareness of music elements within a composition. Weekly musicianship classes are a core
component of instrument and voice study at CCM. This class will be an exciting hands-on experience for students, not one driven by worksheets and theory books.
As students progress through the curriculum, they develop music literacy and the understanding of the elements of the music, bringing a greater appreciation of the music that they are playing and listening to on a regular basis. It is recommended that all private students take along with their private lessons, one musicianship
class.
