The teacher will play a variety of instruments to demonstrate musical terms and ideas, and students will receive a folder to organize their work. This class is suitable for musicians and non-musicians alike. The power of music is strong. Becoming an active listener, being exposed to different styles of music, and understanding the fundamental elements of music are all wonderful experiences and skills to have in life!
