In this workshop we're going to link in with a PYP UOI on 'maps', based on the key concepts of Change, Connection, and Form. Participants will explore elements of a song (beat, rhythm, melody, lyrics) and create 'musical maps' for a variety of songs in a notation grid, using different notation systems (letter names, solfège syllables, and boomwhacker colors).
Bring an instrument. Bring your voice. Bring your passion. Bring your energy. Then we put them all into a pot with a stone, mix it up, and we have live music entertainment for part of our Saturday night at the AGIS conference! We will choose 8-10 songs to play and perform with a bit of organization, almost no rehearsal, and a whole lot of faith.
Leaps of faith rely on strong buy-in from the constituents, sharing a common goal, and trust in the participants' capabilities, knowledge, and experience. So leap with us and let's perform tonight! (There will be no notes, chord charts, or lyrics provided, so devices are extremely useful for knowing what to play or sing even if you don't have all of the world's music memorized).
Criteria for choosing songs include: audience recognition (multi-generational, international), danceability, sing-along-ability, and that somebody can sing lead on the song.
