After two weeks, we have enough original material for an hourlong concert. Singers create a cappella ensembles and learn how to make their own songs & their own arrangements. He also has two master's degrees in music from Columbia University, and generally knows his stuff and is amazing at getting you to know it too. No instruments, no sheet music.Ī little about my co-teacher for this: Evan Feist was an assistant arranger for the soundtrack to Pitch Perfect, an arrangement editor for NBC's The Sing-Off (seasons 3 & 4), a vocal coach for NBC's The Voice, and he will be providing vocal percussion for the upcoming season of Glee. Students compose melodies, harmonize, create back-up parts & basslines, and lay down drums - with nothing but their voices. In Creative Vocal Lab, singers aren't just interpreters - they are songwriters, collaborators, and arrangers, who learn how to turn the sounds in their head into fully-realized music. Once you've learned how to write songs, ditch the instrument and head over to. Other course instructors include myself, Evan Feist (scroll down for his redonk credits) and Blake Reynolds (who has created some incredible orchestral video game scores, and understands pop music like nobody's business), plus some other awesome peeps. This program is consistently the most popular and well-attended of all Purchase's summer programs, and it's a real hoot. We'll be analyzing a combination of classic songs and modern hits, figuring out what makes them work, and creating our own. We're talking guided collaborations, group recordings, performance workshops, lyric-writing labs, etc, with more in-studio recording and songwriting challenges than ever before. He's helping us to make the program even more hands-on.
We've yet to find a genre he can't handle. In fact, just about anything that's well-mixed on my website was probably mixed by him. As front of house for the Bard Avon theatre he's mixed everyone from Ben Folds to The Temptations as a producer he's worked on some of my favorite recent recordings, and recently we had delightful experience of making the Twisted: Twisted record together, which was a blast. This guy does everything: he's a rock/pop bassist, drummer, keyboardist, and guitarist, he's even been a jazz pianist. But what he really does is produce & engineer. The first big announcement we have is that we have a new lead instructor for Songwriting Workshop, Mr. Songwriting runs from June 30 to July 11, Creative Vocal Lab from July 14 to the 25th, and Vocal Intensive from July 28 to August 8. These programs are of course the Songwriting Workshop, Creative Vocal Lab, and Vocal Intensive.
SUNY Purchase's precollege music programs are about to enter their fourth year, and we've got a lot of fun stuff planned that I wanted to share!
