Harmony, History & Style - New Online Course & Workshops! 🎉📚 This new course blends analysis and music history to help you understand and engage with music on a deeper level. Using some of the most beloved pieces in the classical repertoire, the course will will help you: • Learn how #chords are put together to create a particular sense of style; • Cultivate skills of #harmonicanalysis to understand form and content in music; • Understand style in historical context. The course combines online content comprising video lessons and activities which are followed-up with live online workshops. The video lessons introduce concepts which are then put into practice in two analysis activities before each workshop. The workshops are live sessions and your opportunity to discuss the piece in depth, ask any questions that came up and compare your analysis with Lona's and others in the group. The first unit features two workshops on Thursday 27 June and Thursday 11 July. Be sure to watch the two introduction videos and two theory videos before these sessions, and give yourself some time to work on the activity. The workshops will be recorded if you are unable to join us live, and you will still be able to watch the recordings and view Lona's analysis afterwards.

One of my favorite concert violinists and music professors of all time, Itzhak Perlman, said “If you learn it slowly, you forget it slowly. If you learn something very quickly, you forget it immediately.” I can attest to this phenomenon firsthand. I used to rush through my practice sessions to cover a lot of material. As a result, I would make significant gains in one practice session, but those games would disappear literally overnight. Plenty of research shows us that spacing out. Our learning sessions and testing ourselves often are two of the best things we can do to learn quickly. When we try to cram in a lot of material in one session, we end up encoding almost all of that information into short-term memory instead of long-term memory. This is why, the next day, a lot of that improvement seems to disappear.

I envision a world where musicians aren’t constantly rated and evaluated for their performances, but where their contribution to society is deeply valued. As musicians, we are used to receiving feedback for our playing. People talk and write about how well (or not so well) we did in our latest concert. Young instrumental students get a “pass”, “merit” or “distinction” when they do their grades. Competitions are part of most musician’s journeys. Whilst feedback is essential to learn and improve, the world of classical music, in my opinion, puts far too much emphasis on evaluating people’s skills. I feel very strongly about this. I think the obsession with evaluating, judging and rating creates an unhealthy environment and moves the attention away from things that really matter. What matters much more than how well you executed a certain passage is that you can enrich your audience’s lives, stimulate their imagination and create connection. If you are not a professional musician, but someone who enjoys listening to concerts, I have a request for you. Don’t tell musicians they were brilliant, even if they were. Tell them how their performance made your heart sing, how it helped you to forget your work worries or how you could connect with your emotions through the music. It’s a small step you can take to make the world of classical music a better place to be. #intunecoaching #classicalmusic #musician #valued #evaluated

Engaging students in music goes beyond method books and technique; it's about sparking their curiosity and building connections through pieces that capture their imagination. Themed music, like the iconic Psycho theme, offers an exciting way to dive into dramatic expression and musical story telling (perhaps just for the older student).
