Musicianship
Musicianship classes are the perfect fit for students who already acquired fundamental knowledge in the areas of rhythmic and melodic notation and musical terminology, usually established in the first two Suzuki books (or equivalent). Interested students will meet with the Musicianship instructor for an evaluation, which will place them in the appropriate class.
The three areas of focus in Musicianship classes are music theory, music history, and general music appreciation. Music theory is the study of the written music. Students learn how to read and interpret the notes, beginning with the most basic concepts in Musicianship 1 and progressing to more complex music analysis and music composition in the advanced levels. Music history is the study of the major historical periods and trends in history, focusing on composers' lives and musical compositions. This sort of historical study deepens the students' artistic awareness and understanding of the music they hear and perform, which enhances their artistic sensitivity and expressiveness. Music appreciation is the study of the music we hear around us. Students learn about the instruments that are in the orchestra and the voices that are in the choir and in the solo spotlight. They study various musical forms, such as the symphony, concerto, and sonata. They also listen to many great recordings in class and gain a broad knowledge and appreciation of music as they discuss what they hear. Each level builds upon the knowledge and skills from the previous level. Students enter Musicianship 1 by teacher placement/recommendation.
