Studio Orchestra Fall 2010

Welcome to Studio Orchestra! I hope you are ready for a fun semester. We will be playing music and listening to some of your favorite music every class. Please bookmark this page and check here every week. I will be posting some information about the class regularly, along with some links you may find interesting.

What to bring:
Guitarists and Bassists: bring your instruments, cables, picks. HCC has amps and I'll bring one or 2 of mine.
Drummers: Bring sticks. HCC has drums and cymbals, but not the best.
Keyboard Players: HCC has a Korg Triton for us to use.
Singers and Rappers: Bring your voice. We have PA system and mics.
Everyone else: Bring yourself. We'll find something for you to do.

You will also need a pen and a folder or binder to keep handouts and take notes. Good news: no textbook to buy!

Also please bookmark my Learning Web page. You will be able to print out the syllabus, handouts and assignments from there.
