Music: Recordings Of The Past To Inform The Future – Exploring Recording Analysis Techniques With Clare Gooing & Jonathan Gooing From Bishop Grosseteste University
24th June 2021 @ 11:15 - 12:15
Audio and video recordings are all around us. For musicians, these can be invaluable sources of information and inspiration in developing our own understanding and performing in a vast range of genres. There is an amazing wealth of recorded material from the late nineteenth century onwards which give unique insights into very different styles of performance. These can often help explain what is really meant in published scores or help us to understand more about instrumental or vocal techniques.
In this session, students will be introduced to a range of recording analysis techniques and will have the opportunity to apply these techniques in practical listening exercises. We will discuss what material is available, how to find it, and how it might be useful to you as a musician, whatever your genre.
As performance and music appraisal forms integral parts of most of the A-Level and BTEC Syllabi, this session will be beneficial to any student studying music.
Our events are designed so that a group of students can take part from a classroom or students and teachers can take part as individuals, either from school or from home. This means that sessions will continue irrespective of possible school closures.
