About The Ear-Training Workshop:
The traditional methods and secrets of the Paris Conservatories have long proven themselves as enablers and guarantors of musical success. However, in today’s tech-driven world, we can sometimes inadvertently divorce tradition and elbow grease from our desire for efficiency and effectiveness.
Out of these conservatory traditions, Choral Chameleon has forged a simple and effective way of meeting musicians of all levels where they are and harnessing musical intuition and skills they already possess.
In this intensive boot camp style workshop, highly experienced teachers of these methods will lead you through adaptive practice routines you can continue on your own long after these first weeks. These will help you to change the way you listen, the way you process musical information, the way you read music – even out of key context, and the way you perceive your musical self in just a short amount of time.
Heavy concentration on rhythm and singing, in tandem with listening analysis, greatly bolsters personal musicianship skills, while increasing enjoyment of music-making alone or with others, and making the practice of these skills fun and more efficient. Most students have experienced a profound change within themselves in just one session.
Suitable for both choral singers and non-choral musicians.
Guide to Levels:
Beginner
This course is geared toward those with little or no prior experience in reading music. It will cover the basics of rhythm, pitch, harmony, and the process of synthesis: translating information you see into audiation, and then into performance. Focus will be on simple meter rhythms, melodies with stepwise motion and some leaps in treble clef and bass clef, and oral dictation with rhythm and pitch identifications.
Intermediate
If you already know the basics of rhythm and pitch, this course will take it to the next step. It will cover more complex rhythms and melodies including compound meter and more leaps and rudimentary chromaticism. Your personal sense of audiation and synthesis will tighten up and become a faster, more intuitive process.
Advanced
Not for the faint of heart, the volume is turned up in this course, which covers complex rhythmic constructions including shifts between simple and compound meter with either beat or division constant, melodies outside of diatonic tonality, and multi-voice written dictations. Emphasis will be placed on musical multi-tasking: processing 2 or more musical lines at the same time in listening and performance settings, as well as building strong tonal and rhythmic independence.
