Workshop with Tish Berlin
November 24
Description
This is a NAVRS members only event. Expressive Articulation: How to Turn your Performances from Muzak into Music Variety in articulation is one of the secrets to expressive and persuasive performance. Rather than an undifferentiated wash of sound let’s aim for clarity of phrasing and affect - let’s engage our listeners! In this class we’ll learn what to use to convey yearning, agitation, liveliness, languor, etc. We’ll learn how to apply single and double tonguing patterns to music, using excerpts from a Baroque sonata and a Renaissance chanson. Learn how musical shapes can inform our articulation decisions in instrumental music, and how text guides us in vocal music. If there’s time, we’ll do some work with the French Baroque inegal tonguing, to develop our “good taste” when playing French music! NOTE: All sessions begin at 7:00 PM, Eastern. The Zoom link will be live 15 minutes prior.
