The class will discuss the tracks in regards to interesting studio techniques and each week will cover a basic music theory concept using a chosen song as an example. This is not a repeat of the November course of last year, so participants of "Music to My Ears" are encouraged to register. Dan is a Toronto based electric bassist whose performance credits include working with Jesse Cook, Madeline Merlo, amongst others. The course is 6 weeks long, and runs every Wednesday evening from 7:30 to 8:30 PM, EST, beginning March 3rd until April 7th. There are only 15 spots available. You can register by calling our office at 416-236-1796 extension 0, or by going to the following link: Register for Music Appreciation and Beginner Theory. At the time of registration, you will be asked to submit a song that you'd like to focus on during the course. Please include the song title and artist if you know it. zoom |
