The Music of the Beatles

Department - ENS
Offered - Fall, Spring, Summer
Course number - ENRK-220

The Music of the Beatles ensemble is dedicated to recreating the Beatles?s recordings with attention to detail. This is an ear training ensemble, and students will sing and play the actual transcriptions and note-for-note parts that the Beatles performed. The Beatles: Complete Scores book is recommended. The songs are picked by the students. The class teaches the training you would need to join an existing band or to back up an artist that wants record copy arrangements of their recordings by teaching you how to listen for parts: notes, rhythms, tone, timbre, phrasing, articulation, pronunciation, style, and groove. This training adds colors, nuances, and great variety to your musicianship skills.
