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.

Playing in the Style

Part of being a good studio musician is being able to play in the style. Note to this drummer: You're doing it wrong!
