MTR 525L - Repertoire and Improvisation in Music Therapy for Adults and the Elderly Lab
In this lab for MTR 525, you will examine and play music from a variety of cultures/genres, looking particularly at the overall structure and form, rhythmically, melodically, and harmonically. What is the impact of song form which is balanced versus that which has uneven periods, mixed meter, or lyrics that bridge melodic lines? Can you perform both with equal facility? Improve your ability to hear and notate the harmonic progressions in unfamiliar music. Develop your own interpretations and variations of well-known music. Co-requisite: MTR*525.
