Folk School Saturday Sessions with Andy Novara

This weekend's Folk School Saturday Session is hosted by Andy Novara! Join Andy for a workshop on basic ear training.

Saturday Sessions are short workshops offered each Saturday at 11:00 AM on the Folk School Facebook page. Saturday Sessions features instructors from across the country offering instrument, vocal, and dance workshops. Free to join in, no Facebook account necessary.

Sponsored by the Missouri Arts Council.

Workshop Description: This week's Saturday session will cover basic ear training away from one's instrument. The most important skill a musician can have is a solid ear for discerning all parts of one chosen genre. Unfortunately, this is often the most neglected area of practice... This session will cover a multitude of approaches to getting started hearing the major scale without an instrument. Special attention will be taken to learning how to sing the scale's degrees with either solfege or a more modern numbering system. These practices are ideal if you are away from your instrument car, flight, trip, etc.
