ear training jam b
Ear training and the ability to sight read music are essential aspects of well-rounded musicianship. These skills form the foundation for how we hear, play, or sing music. Through active lessons we will learn about ways to improve making the connection between what we see and developing methods to hear that music internally.

EPSYO students receive two short mini-group lessons from EPSYO coaches. Mini Lessons classes are designed to take the concepts introduced in the Group Pedagogy classes.
They are meant to take an integrative and inquiry-based pedagogical approach to the ideas and exercises learned in larger group instruction, through further and more directed demonstration, experimentation, and study in small groups
(capped at 8 students per mini group lesson).

It could be argued that ALL musicians are cool. Or that every musical style or genre is considered “cool” by different people and cultures. We are a collection of experiences and influences: everything from our friends and family to where and when we grow up. This creates a unique world view and personal playlist but doesn’t challenge us to explore more about what other music can offer us. Together we are going to delve into some unique musical styles/genres, introducing you to marginalized and underrepresented composers and musicians and finding ways to connect it to the music that already fills your life.
