Practical Musicianship

Hosted by Tracy Rose
Every Saturday at 12.45pm GMT/UTC
 

 
For beginners, this Workshop is designed to develop students’ understanding of music, which helps to enhance playing and improves performance. Musicianship is a combination of theory and aural skills. Enjoy expanding music skills with others in a group setting!

 
 

Aural Workshops

Hosted by Tracy Rose
Every Saturday at 1.20pm GMT/UTC
 

 
For beginner to 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.

Steph will continue 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.
