Here's What You'll Learn...
Chapter 1: Performance Directions
We’ll start by exploring the more direct musical cues that guide interpretation. This includes dynamics, articulation, tempo, tempo changes, time signatures, and performance markings - all the essential elements that shape how a piece should feel and sound.
Chapter 2: Notes, Rhythms and Chords
Next, we’ll dive into the hidden details that give music deeper meaning. We’ll cover pitch, scales, keys, typical rhythmic patterns, meter, ostinatos, chord qualities, cadences, and diatonic vs. non-diatonic chords - all the building blocks that influence a piece’s emotional and harmonic journey.
Chapter 3: Shaping, Phrasing and Structure
Here, we’ll move beyond the technical and uncover how to read and play music as a story. We’ll discuss musical sentences (phrasing), frequency of chord changes, repetition, typical structures (like pop songs or sonata form), and how music travels using the three-act structure - helping you shape music with intention and expression.
Chapter 4: Bringing it Together
Finally, we’ll apply everything we’ve learned to real pieces of music, analysing how composers use these techniques to create meaning and emotion. You’ll see firsthand how these concepts can transform the way you approach any piece.
By the end of this masterclass, you’ll have a deeper, more intuitive understanding of music, allowing you to play with greater confidence and meaning.
