Music | All-Star Orchestra
Welcome to the All-Star Orchestra course!
This course begins with the basics of musical notation, and how a melody can be conveyed by a page of musical notes. After we learn how different instruments contribute to musical ensembles, we’ll analyze some classical works of orchestral music, and explore their scores, their sounds, and the ideas and emotions that they convey.
