If you think that writing down the music that you hear is only for professionals, this class is for you. Josh makes it easy for everyone by using a step-by-step method that leads the student into each detail of the tune. At the end of the process a completely formed transcription emerges. The “Layered Listening” technique that Josh uses also helps students to learn a way of listening to music that may deepen your awareness of music in general, whereby a song unfolds as a 3-dimensional piece of music. It will speed up the process of learning by ear as well, because once you have transcribed a piece of music, it can be used to play along with the recording more easily and aid in your memory of the tune, and also preserve it. If you think about it, writing down music in our system requires the use of only 12 different notes, whereas writing words requires 26 letters. In other words, it should be easier, not harder than writing an email to a friend!

Course Tools: Syllabus, teaching materials, articles and some recordings will be provided as needed.

Additional Info: For intermediate to advanced students. No previous klezmer experience is required though helpful, but knowledge of instrument and intermediate music reading ability is required for reading simple lead sheets. Basic theory knowledge of scales and intervals is helpful.
