DESCRIPTION OF CLASSES
For Those About to Rock…a lesson
in the art of jammin' :
For Those About to Rock... is a program designed to teach students
how to interact musically with one another in a classroom environment. The
program enables students to play together in a "band-type" situation
while teachers moderate, instruct, and produce. Students
will learn songs of popular rock artists, from the Beatles to
Metallica, and perform them together as a band.
Session 1 - Intro to Jammin'
Dates: May 9th, May 23rd, June 6th, & June 13th $80 for whole session
The first session of the program will focus on getting students
familiar with the dynamics of playing together as a group and
concentrate on watching and listening to others while maintaining
the integrity of their own given part. Classes are limited to
approx. 8 students per session, but there will be multiple sessions
throughout the day. Classes will meet for 1hr15mins on Sundays
starting around 12pm and times will be decided upon sign up approval.

any time with Ann Marie Falcone. Adults are welcome to sign
up, also.
Interactive Music Theory II: Students will learn to identify
chord structures, scales, intervals, and non-harmonic tones with the use of
their own band, choral, orchestra, or private lesson music. The students may
be asked to demonstrate what they find in their music on their instruments.
Listening examples from the rock, pop, and classical genres, flashcards, and
worksheets will be used. Students need to have at least three years of private
music instruction and be in the 8th through 12th grades.
