Workshop Description:
Far too often singers are musically illiterate when they enter the musical setting and directors aren’t sure how to develop elementary skills in younger and older musicians. Working from the premise that musicians learn musical skills in much the same order as they do language skills, participants will explore how we ‘learn’ music through hearing and imitating patterns before reading (translating notation into sound) and writing (translating sound into notation). The pedagogy also includes a sequence of instruction that results in a strong link between sound and notation. The TAKADIMI rhythm- pedagogy system, a beat-oriented system whose originators see it as evolving from Gordon’s syllables, will be incorporated. The rhythm syllables can easily be adapted to elementary through adult choral and instrumental rehearsals in the K-Collegiate setting. Specific techniques for developing rhythm reading readiness, literacy, audiation, musical memory, dictation, improvisation, elementary composition and application to literature will be addressed.
