Developing Artistry Through Color, Choreography, and Characterization
This workshop demonstrates the necessity of incorporating artistic concepts during the early years of musical study. Developing a student's "performance vocabulary" in the early stages will facilitate the integration of the technical and musical qualities in the more advanced as it relates to musical intention and stylistic considerations. Elements essential to efficient practices and artistic performances of music from all periods will be discussed and demonstrated through examples from beginning, intermediate, and advanced repertoire. Professor Clarfield will also include examples from her publications and some of today's leading pedagogical composers.
