Do theory, ear training, sight reading or harmony sometimes feel like separate skills that sit somewhere around the edges of your piano playing? Perhaps you've studied some of them before, but never really connected them with the music you learn and practise.
Yet these wider musicianship skills can have a direct impact on how we hear and understand music, how efficiently we learn it and how reliably we remember it.
In this practical workshop, pianist, teacher and composer Lona Kozik will bring these connections to life through the exploration of a familiar piece. Using Bach's Prelude in C major from Book I of The Well-Tempered Clavier as a starting point, you'll approach the music from several perspectives and discover how wider musicianship skills can reinforce one another rather than existing as separate subjects or exam requirements.
Through a sequence of guided activities, you'll connect what you hear, what you understand and what you play, uncovering patterns and relationships that may previously have gone unnoticed.
Most importantly, the workshop is not simply about understanding one piece more deeply. You'll leave with techniques and new ways of working that you can begin applying immediately to your own repertoire, helping you learn more efficiently, strengthen your musical memory and make stronger connections between the score, the ear and the keyboard.
This workshop is aimed primarily at elementary to intermediate pianists who would like to develop a more rounded approach to learning and playing music.
It will be particularly useful if you:
The underlying ideas are also applicable at more advanced levels and may be useful to piano teachers.
No advanced theory knowledge is required.
