Piano Lab I aims to introduce the piano to first-time musicians or first-time pianists. Over the course of the semester, basics in music theory, piano technique, and note reading will be taught, culminating in an end-of-term recital. Please note that this course is meant for beginners, not advanced pianists.
This course explores music from early Indigenous music right on up to present day practitioners. Some of the traditions studied and practiced will include: Native American, Inuit, Qu茅becois, Appalachian, African-American, Irish, Scottish, British Isle traditions, Cajun, Blues, Gospel, Mariachi, and Conjunto music. Instrumental, dance, and ballad traditions are studied and researched, and experienced first hand. Students must bring a guitar, banjo, mandolin, or fiddle (or other social instrument) to class for purposes of furthering personal music making through traditional forms.
One secret to great playwriting is that what you put offstage is just as important as what you put on. In this class, we will explore a variety of offstage worlds: from realistic to fantastical, from richly detailed to deliciously sparse. We will think about how playwrights bring offstage environments to life through language鈥攈ow a single image can evoke wider landscapes, how a single story can conjure vast histories.
