Fun-damentals of Music

Intended to be both educational and entertaining, this woodwind quintet takes the form of a “Music Lesson,” with audience participation. The music is joyful, each movement focusing on a different component of music: rhythm, melody, harmony, and form. Following the directions given by alternating members of the quintet, the audience joins the players by clapping, humming, harmonizing, and body movement, with the emphasis on creating a fun and interactive musical experience. Fun-damentals of Music was commissioned by the Equinox Chamber Players with support from The Regional Arts Commission—St. Louis.
