Intermediate Mandolin

The Jalopy Theatre and School of Music @ 315 Columbia St, Brooklyn, NY

Intermediate Mandolin is for someone with a basic grasp of the instrument but wants to dive deeper.

Students should expect to be introduced to scales, arpeggios and how they fit into chords. By the end of four week you should be comfortable playing progressions in several keys and be ready to do some improvising. Some participants will...

Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this music appreciation class:

Screenwriter David Misch of Mork and Mindy and Saturday Night Live presents a course on music which uses one of the oldest forms of humor: satire.

Explore the world of musical satire in a variety of genres, cultures, and eras, especially America since 1950. We’ll cover Horace and Juvenal, opera, Yankee Doodle, slave satire, Gilbert & Sullivan, the Gershwins, the Beatles, Randy Newman, Monty Python, Pete Seeger, Spinal Tap, Saturday Night LiveSpamalot, Tom Lehrer, Al Yankovic, Stephen Sondheim, South Park, and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

No background in music necessary and because satire is often dependent on social and historical events, this course is as much cultural history as music appreciation.

  • The World of Musical Satire

    Reviewed by Bob S. on 8/8/2020
    David Misch showed that there is far more satire than I had realized. His knowledge of humor and speaking style are real pluses for the course. I missed portions of two sessions, once because the URL was sent to the wrong email address and once because of a doctor''s appointment. Apparently, there is a way to catch up on those sessions, but I have never seen information on that relief.
