Soundscapes

A soundscape is a sound or combination of sounds that forms or arises from an immersive environment.

Soundscapes is an interdisciplinary course that teaches students to use environmental cues, language, and personal reflection to inspire musical composition. The workshop provides young musicians a context-based approach that helps them feel part of a larger environment and effectively express that connection through poetry and music. This course is open to children age 7 and up who have studied some piano, a string or wind instrument, guitar, percussion, or singing.

Students work both independently and collaboratively, with the opportunity to build off one another’s inspiration while maintaining individual focus. The program is about expression more than performance, and students are encouraged to share their words and music with friends and family in an open event at the close of the session.

Online this Fall 2020!:  Taught by Racqui Borromeo
Location:  Zoom online class
Age/level: 11+ years with some music experience (any instrument or voice)
Work independently within a creative community to explore music composition and the visual arts in creating one or more music videos. Students will create original scores with visual components and put them together in iMovie with the help of our teachers. Access to basic art supplies and a musical instrument (keyboard, string or wind instrument, voice, percussion) are needed, as well as access to a computer or iPad and a camera or recording device (such as an iPhone). Limited to 8 students with two teachers.

The fundamental aims of Soundscapes are to explore composition and song-writing,  and to encourage children and teens to feel that the world around and within are profoundly interconnected and can be a source of mutual wellspring of inspiration. Soundscapes seeks to help students express what may be difficult to articulate through words alone, providing for increased clarity of thought, confidence, and self esteem.
