Continuing our series on "How to Read Music," this video touches upon the other side of the music literacy coin: RHYTHM. Not your typical rhythm video (which only uses the rhythm tree chart), this video explains the practical element of rhythm: what do they sound like?! At the end, we put notes and rhythm together!
(Be sure to check out part 1 so you aren't lost at the end of the video!) |

Crash Course, How to Read Music (part 1)
In this video, we talk about one of the most basic elements of Music Literacy: Note Identification. Covering Treble and Bass clef notes, we walk through the process of identifying each space and staff, how ledger lines work, the relationship between Treble and Bass clef, and how these symbols represent sounds.

How to do an Expressive Mockup
As opposed to adding yet another EPIC! music walkthrough to the internet, in this video I walk you through how to work the more delicate sides of VSTs using the Third Movement of Borodin's Second Symphony as a case study. I this video, I talk specifically about how I use Cinematic Studio Brass Horn and Berlin Woodwinds Legato Clarinet to get a beautiful, expressive sound. (Full mockup at the end.) Though I do talk about these specific libraries, the concepts will carry over to other sampled instruments. |

Getting Started with Dorico
Steinberg's new notation program Dorico is a game changing piece of software. It is making inroads within the professional scoring community, as well as the academic and concert composition worlds. However, a lot of people find it cumbersome when switching from Finale or Sibelius. In this quick and dirty guide, I walk you through the first steps of Dorico and how to avoid some major stumbling blocks. |

Dorico - A Tool for Music Educators
In this video, I walk you through the process I use to adapt parts for students with dyslexia. I have found this to be a massive help for those students, regardless of their age or level of experience. Often, just making the music larger is a great solution. But I've found that coloring each note goes that extra step to allowing students to succeed, both in private lessons and in the ensemble room. |
