Fall 2024 OLLI Digital Catalog

Live Online Music Workshop Part 1 (CP236)

CP – Performing Arts (Participation)

Why play online? For the opportunity to play music with musicians remotely and musicians you may have never met otherwise, or local musicians from the safety and convenience of their own homes. Learn how to play live with other musicians or your own group or band, and to stream live to platforms like YouTube, covering the necessary equipment (computer, audio interface and microphone) and how to set up. Equipment is not required for this class, but although Part 2 (CP239) has an observation option, you’ll need equipment if you want to actually play live.

Check to see if this course has posted a class outline or syllabus.

This offering meets for a total of 5 session(s).
