A Special Live Online Concert

Thursday 9th December at 10am GMT/UTC
 

For the residents of Woodhayes Care Home, England

 

 
Please join us and perform for this special event, for the residents of
Woodhayes Care Home, Exeter, England.
 
All levels, instruments, singing and all ages welcome!

 
Music brings the residents alive; it gives them stimulation, helps them to reminisce and enables them to socialise with others. They are able to interact and it gives some residents an opportunity to sing or hum along, even though they may not be able to speak. It’s so good for their wellbeing.
 
If you would like to play but you can’t perform live, please send a video to Tracy and we’ll try our best to show it.
 
At the start of your video, please say:

• Hello to everyone
• Your name
• Where you are from in the world
• What piece you’re performing and who wrote it

 
There may be the possibility of including several other care homes in our audience!
 

If you would like to perform in this special concert,
please email Tracy now!

Tracy covers what you want to practise, providing a chance for exam students to try out aural exercises before the exam. If you are not an exam student but would like to try out any of the Aural Workshops, ask your teacher what Grade/Level Workshop would be suitable for you.

Music Psychology and Perception Workshops

Hosted by Steph Acaster
Next date to be confirmed
 

 
Our last workshop was about synaesthesia, which explored the associations that some people experience when listening to music. These can be perceptions that belong to different senses. Certain aspects of music may be felt as an emotion, perceived as a colour, a shape, or even a taste!
 
Your host, Steph Acaster, is one of our students taking theory lessons with Stephie.
 
These workshops explore the physical/biological approach to how people actually hear sounds and music, or relate perception/cognition in the brain with music/theory. They also touch on music performance psychology, a large area to explore.
 
We have discussed personality factors (and other factors) that influence our musical preferences, including music that we play, listen to and use as ‘background’ sound.
 
Other sessions focussed on flow and self-actualisation, explored ‘muscle memory’ and practise habits, which is highly relevant to all music students. We learnt about ‘Earworms’, those songs or parts of songs that go around and around in our heads, how and why we get them… and how to get rid of them too!
 
Steph has also presented some fascinating brain imaging scans, which showed what music actually does to the brain.
 
The series continues with more online Workshops for music discussion group meetings, focusing on Music Psychology & Perception.
 
 
These Workshops are open to all of our students, their guests and also our teachers.
 
Steph is currently working as an online tutor in Psychology and Maths. Over the last 5 years, she has completed a Psychology-based PhD, specialising in visual perception research. During this time, Steph also began to study music, reaching Grade 7 in violin and Grade 8 in music theory. These two interests have led to her developing a curiosity in the perception and psychological experiences associated with music.
