New Ways to Listen to Music: Conscious Listening
Week 4 | M, Tu, W, Th, F | Hultquist 101 | Ages 18+
Conscious Listeners connect deeply with the music, amplify their joy by sharing with others, and learn new listening skills. Steinway Artist and former university faculty Hsing-ay Hsu will teach you how to ask questions through the Conscious Listening four-step process and extend what you are actually hearing to connect with music, others and yourself. How would you describe what you hear? What musical element do you want to focus on? How do you respond emotionally with memories? How do you breathe to embody the music? From Bach to contemporary, with some pop and jazz peppered in!
