Your Homework, due Friday: bring in the Funkiest, Fiercest, Flippinest Funk you can Find.
What is funk? Remember how we defined Pop? We're going to zero in on Funk and figure it out.
Why are we doing all this? Why Funk in a Bach Class?
Because listening is listening. We are training our ears to hear structure and training our minds to discuss music. And it is best to do that with music we are familiar with.
Monday's class will be on one of the few truly perfect records: The Beatle's Revolver.
Wednesday we will take a quick look at theme and variation in Jazz.
Friday, hopefully, we will step into music theory- the basic kind- and prepare for a good listen to the music of the Middle Ages.
