Chetham’s International Piano Summer School

Intermediate course class session.
2020-08-09 09:00 - 11:00 (Europe/London)
Aural and Musicianship, technique time and theory with Sarah Murphy, course leader.
Sight-singing, rhythmic exercises and multi-activity exercises (combining clapping/singing/movement) will be used to develop co-ordination and general musicianship.Scales and arpeggios will be given a fun twist by being performed in a range of different articulations, dynamics and other musical combinations, with all pianists participating in group performance of these and creating musical ‘accompaniments’. The theory workshop will be linked with composition and improvisation, as students explore different chords structures, writing melodies to chords, improvising and harmonising melodic ideas.
