We will discuss how to arrange music together in small and large ensembles, how to find one’s voice within a group, and strategies for becoming more comfortable on stage. During these sessions, we will work on songs in both a large ensemble and in two smaller bands. At the end of the last class, we will host a song share with sign up open to the public, and kick off the night with the repertoire we’ve worked up as a group. Along the way, we'll work on musicianship and ensemble skills, tackling performance nerves, and just have fun! Repertoire will be a range of songs that lend themselves to band arrangements. If you have song suggestions, please offer them! All instruments are welcome! However, if you play a non-string instrument (piano, drums, woodwinds, etc.), please contact Caroline prior to enrollment to make sure we can accommodate your instrument at the school. Chord-based Instrumentalists will need to be able to read and play simple chord progressions. Vocalists and melodic instrumentalists will need to be able to match pitch and learn melodies by ear.
