10th & 11th Grade: Instrumental Music


In John's Intermediate Instrumental Music, students studied the chord progression and the scale modes of Pachelbel's Canon, and then composed and recorded their own arrangements.
 
Turn up the volume and enjoy the music from Lena S. '22, Miles T. '22, and Wes C. '22.
 
Lena offers some insight into her process: "I wanted to try something new with it, yet keep it in the classical realm; so I decided to keep the melody, but make the harmonies more staccato and sharp. At the end I added some of my own improvisations."
