CLASS WILL RESUME IN OCTOBER 2022
Go beyond the basic understanding of notes and rhythm and join me for a six weeks musical journey! Learn how to listen to enhance your musical experiences.
The Comprehensive Music Theory Course(CMTC) is specifically designed for adults who wish to understand how sound is woven together to create the works we enjoy. In this original approach, the focus is on identifying and understanding how sound functions. Support material is taken from well known tunes form all genres (classical, jazz, folk, pop, contemporary). Notions are applicable to anyone who enjoys music.
The complete course is divided into three levels (Level A, Level B and Level C). Each level includes 6 one hour classes on zoom, six pdf documents, supplemental exercises for each of the six classes and a toolbox document for quick reference at the end of each level. All classes are recorded and sent to you the next day. Classes are fun and engaging, perfect to answer any questions you may have along the way.

Written music is a dense symbolic language that communicates tons of information. There can be a lot of markings on a page of music and some are pretty cryptic for the uninitiated. I have designed these workshop for those who have little or no musical training or those who would like a refresher course to better understand their music score.
Entry level workshop: This workshop is designed to demystify the music score. It explores what information is available on the page to help you better perform your music taking into consideration the intentions of the composer. Topics include tempo, dynamics, slurs, key signatures, time signatures, the staff, clefs, note reading, intervals, and how to follow the road map of your printed music.
Thank you so much for this morning workshop! You help demystify much of that which I never understood. Very helpful.
B.G.Many thanks for the excellent workshop you gave this morning. I learned and relearned a great deal.
M.B.
