Music Theory 101

FRIDAYS 4:00 - 5:30 PM

Build the foundation of essential skills to thrive as a musician.

Expand your ability to sing, play, write, and jam.

How does music work?

Learn the essential skills needed to thrive as a musician whether you are writing songs, soloing, or playing with friends. With a grounding in how to build and spell chords, navigate scales, and play a song in any key, you will watch your musical horizons widen after learning these lessons! 
 
As with all Rhapsody programs, these weekly gatherings will center young people and highlight the historical and present-day contributions of musicians who have been systematically marginalized. Instruments are available if you are unable to bring your own!
