Intro to Music Literacy - This Saturday
John GibbonsJust a reminder that my semi-regular one-day seminar on introductory music reading is on for this Saturday in downtown Chicago.
We begin at 10am and end at 4pm, with a one-hour lunch break. The location is the University of Chicago’s Gleacher center. Cost is $115 per person.
I hope to see some new faces and regulars. Here’s the spiel from the catalog:
This seminar is designed to equip the student with fundamental knowledge of musical notation and language. Clefs, time and key signatures, the staff, symbols for pitch and duration, and musical grammar and vocabulary will all be covered. Also, there will be consideration of the relevancy and value of various analytical models and techniques. Emphasis will be placed on making the participant’s listening experience more rewarding.
