Extensively deemed one of the most influential composers of the 20th century, Arnold Schoenberg invented Serialism. What is Serialism?

It is a unique way to write music without using major or minor keys. Instead composers use numbers, shapes, and extreme timbre in an “ordered” way.

Kitty says, “Music is like a cube, it can be upside down, forward, and backwards”. Plan to draw shapes and use your instrument to play a song.

In this interactive class, you’ll explore “how” to construct serial music and participants will discuss performance challenges. It’s for all kids who enjoy putting things in order and have a curious mind. Demonstrating and experimenting on your own instrument is encouraged!

Note: Kids should know the alphabet and understand negative numbers. Students will need to have paper and pencil for the workshop.
