Congratulations on your completion of Guitar 1! There is much more to learn and enjoy—enough for a lifetime—so keep playing, exploring and listening to music.
Wave Reflections at Aloha Tower | Peter Kun Frary
Do you love music and are wondering what you should you do now? MUS 122D, Guitar 2, is the logical next step, and we hope it can be offered in the near future. Meanwhile, at Leeward Community College, you can enroll in beginning courses in guitar, piano, 'ukulele and voice. If you have performance skills, consider signing up for Guitar Ensemble, Hawaiian Ensemble or College Chorus.
If you wish to know more about the technical side of music, enroll in MUS 108, Music Fundamentals. It's similar to the music reading section of this course but more in depth, exploring music through notation, aural experiences, fundamentals (scales, intervals, chords, etc.) and song writing. If music history is your thing, dive into MUS 106, Introduction to Music Literature, or MUS 107, Music in World Cultures.
Finally, if you desire more musical experience than a mere course or two, consider earning an Academic Subject Certificate (ASC) in Music. It's 18 credits of ensembles, technique courses and music electives. It may be taken in conjunction with the Associate of Arts degree or as a standalone certificate. Visit your Leeward Community College academic counselor for more information or to sign up.
We are grateful and honored to help shape young minds and spread the gospel of music. I bid you adieu with two short videos from our musical life. In the first video, Peter Kun Frary plays Through The Eyes of Love on a Tiny Tenor (6-string tenor 'ukulele). The second video is a guitar duet played by Peter and Grace Seil Frary, Fernando Sor's Waltz Op. 55 No. 3.
