Gospel: Students will learn the fundamentals of the gospel style and apply them to hymn reading, traditional gospel, and contemporary gospel. Students will learn 2-4 songs over the week that are appropriate and applicable in a gospel setting. Lastly students will learn how to read chord charts to facilitate performing the CCM genre.
Jazz: Students will discuss history of jazz, fundamental chord progressions found in the jazz repertoire, chord voicings and improvisational techniques.
Contemporary keyboard: Students will learn chords and inversions, reading chord charts and improvisational techniques to apply to contemporary music styles. Students will learn to navigate midi keyboards while using different patches and sound effects.
Collaborative Piano: Advanced students who are interested or who are currently collaborating in the community will work on simplification, analysis, sight reading, and score reading skills to strengthen their musicianship. We will explore skills required to collaborate with schools, choirs, musical theater, and ensembles during the week.
Music Technology: Students will learn best practices when sequencing, recording, editing, and otherwise creating in a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW).
