In this course, students will learn, rehearse, and perform a set of rock/pop music. “Rock/pop” is construed as widely as possible, encompassing all styles of Anglo-American vernacular music from roughly 1950 onwards, as well as derivative genres from overseas. Example genres include blues, folk, rhythm and blues, k-pop, prog-rock, hip-hop, electronic, heavy metal, punk, and reggae. The set list may include cover songs, original songs, or both. We may also work on producing high-quality recordings of original music.
