Music Making 101 (Ages 8-11)
The place to start if you’ve always wanted to make music.
Kids will learn more about music and all of the different elements that are used in creating it! We will cover an overview of Music Theory as a starting point then move into exploring different key signatures, tempos, rhythms , instruments and explain the purpose of each component. From there we will move into composition, arrangement, moods and how different music affects us.
