| Description | | Presenter: Andy Hackbarth
This workshop is an interactive day with performing artist, Andy Hackbarth, http://andyhackbarth.com/, in which students and teachers look at the theory of modern music, including Top 40 radio, rock, jazz, blues, folk, country, and bluegrass. Students will explore structural, melodic, rhythmic, and “choral” traits of each style of music. Musical examples are taken from popular, current songs (e.g., Taylor Swift, Brittany Spears, Brad Paisley, Jason Mraz, etc.). Time will be spent on the elements of math and its presence in all music.
Ample time will be allocated for students to write, record, and perform their own music using the principles and techniques covered earlier in the day.
