Musicianship for Singers

Steven Santoro and I gave a presentation at Berklee about our new class, Musicianship for Singers. This class is meant to be a lab where singers gain mastery of the knowledge and skills they learned in Ear Training and Music Application and Theory. Students practice melodic and rhythmic patterns using solfege, music notation, technology and musical instruments of choice to help connect the ear, the analytical facilities, and the voice. We got lots of good feedback and ideas from the other faculty members. I think this class is here to stay: the students who take it say it is a big help to them.
