Group Class for Beginners II

Catalog description

This course is intended for undergraduate non-music-major students who have completed MUSP 100 and are seeking to further develop their skills in either piano, voice or guitar. This course will meet once per week for 15 weeks and is intended to build on the skills developed in MUSP 100 . Piano students will develop greater fluency reading from the staff and will develop familiarity with more complex harmonization, ensemble playing, sight-reading and transposition exercises. Guitar students will focus on furthering the technical development of the right and left hands, reading music primarily in staff notation, improvising, and relevant theoretical concepts. Voice students will build on the development of healthy vocal technique, tone production, breathing, diction, physiology, musical style and related theoretical topics as required by more demanding repertoire and vocal exercises. Students completing MUSP 130 will be eligible to register for individual applied lessons on these instruments. Prereq: MUSP 100 .
