Contemporary Music WorkshopsThe ASMM Program
Presentation
The Contemporary Music Workshops are group classes bringing together various instruments to form real bands: guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, vocals, and more.
Each workshop offers musical progression tailored to the participants’ level, with a teaching approach developed by the school. Each group, led by an experienced teacher, works toward a common goal: to perform two concerts during the year, while also achieving each musician’s individual goals.
Program highlights:
- Accompaniment work: exploring the role of each instrument in a contemporary music band.
- Improvisation and solo techniques: learning to develop melodic lines suited to the chosen styles.
- Creation and exploration of a varied repertoire, from contemporary music classics to modern tracks. Students will be encouraged to suggest songs for the course repertoire.
- Preparation of a live performance set, with a focus on interpretation and group dynamics. Understanding expectations and how to make this type of repertoire “sound right.”
