Dr. Greenberg will also provide you with a solid grounding in the building blocks of music —elements such as mode, meter, timbre, and the like. You will learn how a composer shapes a melody, how that melody is complemented with accompanying harmony, how the music’s tempo is arrived at, and how the piece is structured to create a standard, recognizable form.
Throughout his lectures, Prof. Greenberg demonstrates each musical point either with his own masterful piano rendition or with excerpts from recordings of orchestras and vocalists. Also, he conveys his vast knowledge not only with puckish wit and contagious passion, but in plain English, making the breadth of information conveyed accessible to any intelligent listener, regardless of their musical training.
