5-week session, June 30—August 1

Learn to assemble music as it is done in the urban recording studios of
Jamaica and the United States. The music learned can be used to
accompany all styles of singers and rappers. You will read some music
and be encouraged to learn from recordings by ear, so that you can learn
music long after the ensemble is finished. Mr. Carbone will supply the
ensemble with music, ranging from roots reggae to dancehall, but you can
also bring in music you would like to explore. Open to all musicians,
vocalists and rappers. |
