In collaboration with arts nonprofit and performance space The Lost Church (http://thelostchurch.org), this dynamic class invites students to explore various aspects of music through hands-on experience, collaboration, and visits from members of the North Bay's talented and diverse community of working musicians.
Presented as a series of weekly explorations, some of the topics we will cover include guitar, electronic music, piano, brass, basic technique, and the cultural relevance of music. Participants are encouraged to bring their own instruments, but it is not necessary for the class. Our goal is for each student to widen our worldview and find personal inspiration through music-making and interaction with experienced musicians.
