What can students expect?

<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">These classes arise from the conviction that music can and should be accessible to all. I seek to facilitate a deepening in our intuitive response to music as well as to support the group in exploring the cultural and historical background to music in a way that I hope to be approachable and clear. People come to the classes from different backgrounds – some are completely new to ‘music appreciation’ while others may sing in choirs or be experienced listeners. What we share is a love of music and a willingness to learn from each other’s perspectives. The sessions will include cultural/ theoretical background, musical examples, group/ paired discussion, and more. Come and join us!</span></span></p>
