This course will provide students with a basic introduction to prominent instruments in a worship band: keyboard, drums, guitar, and vocals. This skill-based course will assure competency for playing basic chords on the keyboard and guitar, rhythms on the drums, and basic strumming patterns. Recognizing that students will be taking lessons on their primary instrument (voice included) as a part of the program already, this course serves to ensure basic competency on other instruments.
On their first day of class, students in Dr. Ridhwan Olaoke’s Introduction to Business class were each given a dollar with the option to keep it or pool together with their classmates to purchase a goat through World Renew, supporting business development in developing countries. Some chose to give more, and together, they raised enough to provide not just one but two goats. A small gesture with a big impact!
