Description
The Berklee Institute for Accessible Arts Education (BIAAE) is thrilled to offer free online group music lessons for autistic adults, welcoming participants of all skill levels who want to explore singing or playing an instrument (any instrument!) in a supportive, friendly, and creative environment. Join and collaborate with students from across the country!
What to Expect:
Our class features whole group instruction, small group lessons, and private instruction. Sessions focus on:
- Learning to read notes and rhythms
- Basic music theory topics
- Different genres of music
- Developing instrumental or vocal technique
- Practicing techniques to expand your musical ability
- Recording your own music
During class, you will rehearse and collaborate with other students using Bandlab for Education, a free and easy-to-use online platform that gives you access to virtual instruments if you do not have an instrument of your own. Click here to watch a video explaining how Berklee Staff uses Bandlab.
At the end of the series, you will perform as part of an online ensemble and will receive a video recording of the performance — which will also be showcased on the BIAAE and AANE websites!
Technology You Will Need:
- A computer or tablet
- Internet connection
- Webcam and microphone
- Headphones (for Bandlab)
- Zoom (No need to install anything, but you can download the Zoom client if helpful. New to Zoom? Check out this quick guide)
- Musicians must be able to independently operate technology and their chosen instrument, with guidance from the instructors
Come share your sound!
*Please note that these meetings will not be recorded.
