Join us on June 17, 2022 at 11:30 - 1:00 EDT for a Workshop with Christopher Azzara from Eastman School of Music. Learn how to take an audiation* approach to teach and learn common repertoire in our studio. This is Part 2 of a two part series. In this session Chris will take us through more intermediate and advanced repertoire, along with walking us through his books of Developing Musicianship through Improvisation.
Once registered, you will receive a link to view the Part 1 video that took place on June 18, 2021. This will allow to get caught up to what Dr. Azzara shared with us last June and allow for a continuation of the material. Viewers who attended the workshop last year, you should have received an email with the information and the link to last year's video to review. If you did not receive the notification, please email me so I can send you the link.
*Audiation is not the same as aural perception, which occurs simultaneously with the reception of sound through the ears. Audiation is a cognitive process by which our brain gives meaning to musical sounds. Audiation is the musical equivalent of thinking in language. When we listen to someone speak we must retain in memory their vocal sounds long enough to recognize and give meaning to the words the sounds represent. Likewise, when listening to music we are at any given moment organizing in audiation sounds that were recently heard. Based on our familiarity with the tonal and rhythmic conventions of the music being heard, we also predict what will come next.
