Intended to be both educational and entertaining, this woodwind quintet takes the form of a “Music Lesson,” with audience participation. The music is joyful, each movement focusing on a different component of music: rhythm, melody, harmony, and form. Following the directions given by alternating members of the quintet, the audience joins the players by clapping, humming, harmonizing, and body movement, with the emphasis on creating a fun and interactive musical experience. Fun-damentals of Music was commissioned by the Equinox Chamber Players with support from The Regional Arts Commission—St. Louis.

Program Notes
Fun-damentals of Music is intended to be both educational and entertaining. The presentation will take the form of a "Music Lesson," with instruction and participation. The music is joyful. And the emphasis will be on audience involvement and enjoyment. Each movement focuses on one basic component of music. According to the directions given by one of the members of the quintet, the audience will join the players by clapping (rhythms), humming (a melody), harmonizing (building chords) and raising hands, or perhaps standing up (!), (to identify formal sections and thematic recurrences). This music is especially intended for school programs. However, Fun-damentals was also created with general audiences in mind. Adults have been known to enjoy singing or tapping during concerts. Families might share the experience, perhaps to see which members really are musically inclined! It is hoped that this will be a memorable "Music Lesson" for all. --Gwyneth Walker
