Lecturer: Professor Robert Greenberg
No matter what kind of music we listen to – symphony or string quartet, saxophone solo or vocal ballad, hip hop or Gregorian chant – we feel its impact. But how is such an impact achieved? What are the fundamental processes of musical composition?
Look beneath the surface of music in these 16 fascinating lectures. See how certain musical effects are achieved, and learn to follow the often-intimidating language of key signatures, pitch, mode, melody, meter, and other parts of musical structure used by composers. Professor Greenberg offers a spirited introduction to this magnificent language – nimbly avoiding what for many of us has long been the principal roadblock, the need to read music. While reading musical notation is a necessity for anyone wanting to master music’s language, this course introduces you to music’s language in a way that is similar to the way you learned your own native language – through your ears rather than with pen and paper.

Aural and the University Music Undergraduate


Free Download Colin R. Wright, "Aural and the University Music Undergraduate"
English | ISBN: 144389799X | 2016 | 445 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Research indicates that aural skills are vital in developing musical expertise, yet the precise nature of those skills and the emphasis placed upon them in educational contexts merit closer attention and exploration. This book assesses the relevance of aural in a university music degree and as a preparation for the professional career of a classical musician. By way of the discussion of four empirical studies, two main areas are investigated: firstly, the relationship between university music students aural ability and their overall success on a music degree programme, and, secondly, the views of music students and professional musicians about aural and its relevance to their career are analysed. The subject is investigated particularly in the light of the current socio-educational background of the past fifty years, which has greatly influenced the participation of music and the study and development of musicianship. Many related issues are touched upon as part of the research for this project, and these emerge as relevant topics in the discussion of aural. Apart from students and musicians views on training and singing, aspects considered include the role of improvisation, memorisation and notation, examinations, absolute pitch and the affinity with language, all of which have a part to play in the debate about the importance of aural.
