The Essential Basic General Music Appreciation Course

Level: *         Beginners

Tutor: Laurance Mendes

Start Date: Tuesday, 21st January 2014

Venue: Hereford Campus - Folly Lane

Course Content

The course aim is to provide students with an essential basic education in general music appreciation. The tutor has spent over 40 years, composing and performing music in many countries, has a music qualification, and a City and Guilds 7407 teaching qualification, and a Certificate of Education.

The course will include standard topics such as:

• How to hear musically

• Rhythm, Melody, and Harmony

• Song-writing

• Basic singing

• Listening to students practising/performing live music solo and together in class

• Listening/watching students favourite CD/DVD tracks in class

• The guitar

• Basic music theory

• Different musical styles       ;

The course is a process that will evolve as the course proceeds, and is also dependent upon attending student musical preferences. Students are required to be open to other student's musical preferences, even if they're not their choice, as it's not a one-to-one course. %.

Entry Requirements

Beginners and those with a little experience. The class will be structured to meet the needs of the majority of students enrolled. Students are invited to bring a musical instrument to this course if they have one. It's perfectly acceptable to attend this course without an instrument, although instruments will not be provided. Some students may just appreciate music and not wish to play an instrument. It is important for each student to contact me pre-application, by e-mail (laurance@highlightdp.com). or text or telephone 07989 139079 to discuss their requirements please? (I may be abroad the 2 weeks just prior to the course without my mobile, so e-mail is best as I have remote access). Thank you, Laurance Mendes - Course Tutor.

10 weeks on a Tuesday 6.30 - 8.30pm (plus a possible mini concert of our music, at a local Hereford cafe at the last session).
