George W. Russell, Jr. – Developing Your Musicianship
Description Audio bit rate (for mp3, aac, wma):] Hi! My name is George W. Russell, Jr., and I will be your teacher for the next six weeks in Developing Your Music. I am so happy that you signed up for this course, we are going to have a ton of fun. You probably signed up for this course because you love music, and I hope the journey we are about to embark on will give you more understanding of how music works and inspire us to continue studying music well beyond our time together.In this first lesson, we will explore some basic musical terms. What is harmony? What is ear training? What is an interval? From there, we will see the major scale and how it is built. Then we are going to explore two intervals: the second major and the third major. It is very important that you develop your hearing and your ability to recognize intervals. And last but not least, let’s explore the tonal center, or the key of a song is in. Make sure you have access to a keyboard so you can practice what you are learning. If you don’t have a physical keyboard or piano, you can use one of the virtual keyboards listed in the Resources section of this course. The keyboard is a wonderful tool for learning music. I encourage you to refer to it, and practice on it, regularly throughout the course. Each lesson throughout this course will feature interviews with Berklee students and faculty, and a student ensemble performance, which I hope will inspire you. In this first lesson, you will hear from Berklee students and a faculty member, in their own words, why what we are learning is so important to your development as a musician. This week’s student performance features Ben Johnston’s song and Jordan Lucero “I Don’t Have a Song for That. This song was inspired by the events of the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15, 2013. I hope you enjoy it, I think it really captures how special Berklee and all of their students! You can see more of Berklee Student’s performances on their YouTube channel. That’s it for now. I’ll post another announcement like this for each new lesson. Hope you have a wonderful experience of the course! All the best, Georgep. s.
