David offers Music Ensemble & Improvisation Class in Paonia, CO

Music Ensemble & Improvisation Class – David Alderdice Wednesdays, 3:45-4:45pm 9th-12th graders
We will learn deeper modes of expressing ourselves through our chosen instrument by learning different tunes and arrangements from around the world. An emphasis will be on ensemble playing, groovin’ together, active listening & responding within the music, improvising, acquiring a group feel, and becoming exposed to different rhythmic themes and musical sensibilities from around the world. All type of instrumentalists (and vocalists) are welcome.
*Students should have their own instrument to bring to class as well as practice at home, be able to demonstrate a chromatic scale on their instrument, have a basic ability to read music, and be committed to showing up on a regular basis.
