BART 22A06 - Creating a collaborative original piece of music

You will find in this course the tools and techniques to create an original piece of music. It will be a collaborative production with your diverse creative identities and musical preferences. This lesson is opened to non-musician as well as amateurs or confirmed musicians as this place is to be valorizing your creativity in a musical project. As we go through the composition, the creation of a song or more tending to eventually become a musical for the end of the year show, we will explore the artistic profiles of each one of you and define how they are going to enrich this original piece(s) of music. It will then also become a workshop in which you will build the ways of expressing yourselves through music and other artistic moves, which will accompany your music. From the beginning to the end, you will be the builders and actors of your original musical creation and will then be able to perpetuate this activity for your own pleasure.
