Back by popular demand, Doing Music From the Inside Out with Rusty Wulff returns for 2023!
This class is designed to give the adult beginning/inexperienced musician opportunities to engage with music, and to actually play some music, too.
Requirements:
– NO MUSIC READING & NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY (…or memory of such).
– Curiosity and a sense of humor!
– A functional/playable acoustic (non-amplified) guitar. Fe staff can help those who may need to find a guitar to rent.
– Instructor will provide African hand drums & percussion instruments.
– Take notes as individuals prefer.
This is a hands-on music offering both for those who miss their past days in music as well as individuals who never pursued learning to “do music” but find themselves wishing for a do-over.
Throughout our four 2-hour meetings, we will cover a variety of concepts and ideas. These will be introduced organically as they emerge to be interesting and relevant to our group. While there is no limit to what we could explore, we’ll begin with basics from which curiosity, questions, and enthusiasm will likely surface. The direction of following sessions will be determined by class participants’ interests; hence the title “Music from the Inside Out.”
Beginning from the first class, we’ll use our ears and imaginations to actually make music with guitars and hand drums/percussion Rhythm, melody, harmony along with newly emerging technique/skill will immerse us in organic music exploration, listening, and appreciation.
Need a guitar? Rent one for $20. Just add this to your class registration.
