Students will study famous Halloween based repertoire to solidify concepts like scales, pitch and rhythm recognition and writing, chord building, chord structures, harmonic structure, and song forms to name a few. 

Music History Technique and Repertoire:

Students will study melodies, chords, instruments, and song forms from Composers and Artists ranging from the Ancient Greeks, Bach, Sailors from the High Seas, CCW, Michael Jackson, and Imagine Dragons. All of this study will culminate in a fall driveway and digital performance on Halloween.
