Regular Online Music Workshops

 

Form & Analysis Workshop

Hosted by Stephie Koulouris
Every other Monday at 5pm GMT/UTC
 
Live online music form and analysis workshop
 
In this series of Workshops, we develop key skills in the understanding of musical, structural, contextual elements as well as in the use of musical terminology.
 
Selections from genres/styles such as Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Contemporary and World Music are studied and guidelines regarding the approach to reading and understanding the score/music through harmonic analysis (key signature, harmonic progressions, scale degrees, roman numerals, modulations, cadences etc), structural analysis (motis, 2-bar phrases, 4-bar phrases, sections, form etc) and contextual analysis (time-band, genre, stylistic features, composer, composer’s life, composer’s influences, contemporaries etc) are provided.
 
This Workshop is particularly useful for anyone working towards GCSE or A level music, IB a higher ABRSM Grade or enabling the understanding of music and how to describe it.
 

“I can now follow the score, and pick up again if I lose my place, recognise repetitive patterns, the instruments and texture of the music and understand the story behind the piece.
 
This Workshop has taken my understanding of my pieces to a new level.
 
I have moved from someone who is ‘taking piano lessons’ to someone receiving a rounded music education which I enjoy enormously.”

Aural Workshops

Hosted by Tracy Rose
Every Saturday at 1.20pm GMT/UTC
 
Free live online ABRSM Aural Workshops - Music Lessons Anywhere
 
For beginner and intermediate levels. These regular Workshops include all kinds of listening skills. We can also cover aural exercises from a variety of exam boards.
 
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. Listening skills are at the heart of all good music-making. Developing aural awareness is fundamental to musical training, because having a ‘musical ear’ impacts on all aspects of musicianship.
 

 

The girls loved it and having classmates taking the same lesson with them while they are sitting in another continent was exciting. It was as good as having a teacher in front of them in class, if not better, the girls progress and grades just proves that.”

Music Psychology and Perception Workshops

Hosted by Steph Acaster
New season to be confirmed later in 2022
 
Music Psychology and Perception Worksop live online - Music Lessons Anywhere
 
Our last Music Psychology and Perception 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.
