After a successful run of Music Theory Bootcamp, we are back again!
This online, intensive six week class series with Jazz artist and composer, Tammy Scheffer, is geared towards singers who would like to gain practical tools for their practice, enhance their musicianship and learn to communicate more effectively with fellow musicians. Through analyzing sheet music from common repertoire, we will learn to make important connections between what’s on the page and the music we’re performing and become more attuned to the rhythm, harmony and melody of a song.
Topics include:
-Sight reading in treble and bass clef
-Reading, recognizing, and writing rhythmic patterns by ear
-Recognizing and singing intervals and triads
-Recognizing common harmonic progressions
-Applying music theory in composition and analysis
We will also be offering a BONUS CLASS to review the self-assessment exam listed HERE as well as basic music theory. The bonus class will meet Sunday November 8th, from 4-6pm ET.
This series is $295.
Please note all classes are in Eastern Time.
