Music changes the brain, quite literally, as a biologist I have studied these effects. Music is a language, a way of expressing yourself. Here, I will not simply teach you how to play an instrument, I will teach you a new language, a new relationship with this fantastic instrument. This class will focus mostly on playing, with a short section of theory and appreciation of music, rhythm, harmony, melody. All the things that I wished someone would have taught me earlier in my life. Most importantly, it is tailored to your interests and passions. I believe education should adapt to the student and not the other way around. Let's explore this wonderful universe together.
