The Music of Cole Porter

(Level: Advanced Intermediate) It’s time to “Begin the Beguine!” The songs of Cole Porter (1891-1964) are witty, sometimes racy, full of longing, and also chock-full of challenging chords and changes. Musically, he’s at the top! Join Liz Brinker for an hour of this genius’ work. We will learn several songs, plus some Cole Porter trivia. Please either print the song sheets ahead of class time, or have a secondary device on hand, so you can see the chords, lyrics, AND the class screen at the same time. A chord dictionary wouldn’t hurt, either.
