Description
For experienced players who have completed Creating Songs Parts 1 – 4 with Cornell and have participated in previous Friday afternoon sessions.
In this installment of the Native Flute Player’s Music Workshop, we’ll look further into creating music for solo flute, multiple flutes, or flute combined with other instruments. Our focus this semester will be on genres of improvisatory rhythmic music with roots in 19th and 20th Century North, Central and South America, such as blues, calypso and others.
- Look at rhythmic and melodic elements of various genres/styles
- Learn through playing along with rhythm and backing tracks
- Incorporate the styles into your own playing
- Draw upon previous work with perspective, texture, mood/emotion and scene painting
Some experience with notation, tablature and number systems will be helpful for this class. Native flutes and other world flute traditions are welcome.
