Live Online Music Workshop Part 2 (CP239)

CP – Performing Arts (Participation)

A hands-on workshop where we put into practice what we’ve learned in Part 1 (CP236) of this course, working together to get instruments connected and online, with the ultimate goal of playing together and with others online. To fully participate, students need an audio interface, computer and microphone (covered in Part 1). Observers also welcome. We play on three different platforms and learn about and participate in the online music community. There’s also the possibility to optionally (no pressure) perform live on YouTube if we have enough musicians and can agree on a piece.

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

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