Ear Training Level1

Learn To Recognize Beat Patterns and Pitch Relationships This course is for students who are either beginners or who want to understand more about music itself and how that understanding can be applied to their voices or instruments. No prior knowledge of music is required. The basic topics I will present are particularly useful for those who want to improvise on their instruments. Basic musical concepts such as intervals (the distance between two pitches) and simple versus compound rhythm are all essential tools for the creative musician. I will also illustrate what I am presenting with musical examples both recorded and live, so it will not be just a lecture class. The whole class will participate with clapping in time, some singing, and of course, all your questions.
Instructor: Kurt Reber
Tuesdays 7:30 - 8:30pm

Ear Training Level 2

Learn To Recognize Scales, Harmonies, And Subdivided Rhythms This course will expand upon the concepts learned in Ear Training I with more emphasis on how they apply in musical practice or theory. Students will learn basic pitch notation in treble and bass clefs, Major versus Minor scales and their relationships, and the recognition of different types of chords. The rhythmic concepts introduced in Ear Training I, particularly rhythmic subdivisions and odd meters, will be expanded upon in Ear Training II.

Testimonials - The Word

The honest words of students,visiting artists and parents

Testimonials: The Fischer 3 (Joey, Izzy and Jesse) have been blessed by their experience at Mojos. l their teachers are reat mentors, both musically and inspirationally. In Rock Camp over the summer you successfully showed these young kids that they can create music together in their own band. That has been the most amazing experience any kid could have. We're lucky we found you guys and grateful to have you in our lives. Rock on! Xan Fischer Parent

Thanks for hosting the bass camp. It is the first real "masters class" that I have attended. I learned more in the few hours I was there than I have in all the other bass classes and workshops I've been to. I have my work cut out for me and will be practicing a lot this winter. Sandy Reay

"You've got a great place there and I can see it's very much appreciated in the community." Michael Manring Visiting Artist

"I walk away from every single voice lesson with a new technique I can apply immediately. In a short time, Jessica has shown me how to express myself with more authenticity, power, range of expression, and versatility than I ever thought possible." Adrienne Osborn The FEVER

I had a wonderful time at Mojo's. It felt more like a musical family gathering than "clinic". Very supportive and comfortable environment with a wealth of information being passed around. Can't wait to go back! Damian Erskine MHBC #2 Visiting Artist

It gives me the environment I need to enjoy making music. and of course the staff is top notch. couldnt be better.Ben Baron Student

Studying bass with you has been amazing for Tara. She's learned so much on her instrument plus she reads music now, hooray. Also all the cool people you have come through for clinics like Alice Peacock, Ray Reindeau and Damian and of course Michael Manring... plus I love doing voice with Jessica with my "girls acoustic trio". And you and Jessica are such wonderful people! Mojo's has really enriched our family musically and beyond. You'll be seeing lots of us again this coming year. Faith Stone Student/Parent
