MLT Canada Coffee Chat - February 16, 2024 - Part 2
Enhancements & Enrichments Beyond the Page: Discussion concentrated on MMFP Keyalities and Tonalities and Book 2 & 3 Enhancements and Enrichments that we give our students beyond what is on the page. We’ll use the last question from the last coffee chat as the segue into this week's discussion. The question was, "When you review units, what do you review?" What do you bring to the songs/pieces/repertoire that you didn’t do before? This can range from LSAs (Pattern Instruction) to pieces that you teach and how we can expand upon the simple folksongs and Christmas carols we teach our students to strengthen their Audiation, skills, and musicianship. Do you do mashups? If so, which are your students favourite? Feel free to bring any suggestions to the discussion. |

MLT Canada Coffee Chat - November 17, 2023
Digging Into Technique: Many of us are used to the RCM technique requirements that we ourselves have learned and have taught. In MMFP, the technique we focus on begins slightly different, with TDT cadence, TDT arpeggios . . . To me, it seems that MMFP focuses on the practical and functional (applied) aspects: TDT cadence & arpeggios while RCM focuses on categories of basic theoretical understanding of concepts: Scales, triads, 4-note chords, octaves, etc.
RCM/CC/CNCM Ear training and sight reading - how can we approach these with a sequenced MLT approach? |

NOTE: if you didn't attend or watch the Symbolic Association Coffee Chat - February 18, it is strongly recommended you view that video before viewing this video (Composite Synthesis). The reason being is to understand how some of the reading resources demonstrated at Composite Synthesis are initially used at the Symbolic Association. |

Each month contains a different set of requirements of pieces that we're looking for. This all started in September 2020, so by now there are 9 different categories.
