Adult Musicking Classes
Description
We have spots open for more music lovers. Join us!!!
Every Monday morning from 10am – 11:30am, a group of adults in their 40s-70s meet for MUSICKING. We sing, we learn percussion instruments, we talk about musical history, and music trivia, we do basic theory, we learn about notes, rhythms, patterns, and how to write a song and we explore genres such as Jazz, Blues, Country, Reggae, Pop, and Rock and Roll.
We belt out well-known hits and learn obscure songs, we explore artists we have never heard about and we discuss our personal favourites and we play the kazoo, or a Cajon, a ukulele and we have all learned how to play a simple song on the piano.
We learn how to breathe properly, and we laugh, we do a LOT of laughing. We also have written two original songs … one a blues ditty and the other a contemporary ballad with RAP!!!
Our MUSICKING class takes place at the Grand River Community Health Centre, in the activity room, located at 363 Colborne Street. It is FREE to attend and ANYone can join. We’re inviting YOU to come and join us and spend a carefree hour of Musical MAGIC.
If you’d like to join us for NOTES and BEATS and become part of our MUSICKING class, please contact Brad Kidder at: BKidder@grchc.ca
