Score Reading I

Score Reading I trains you to look at a full ensemble score and hear it — not just read your own line, but realize the whole texture at the keyboard, including the C clefs (soprano, alto, tenor) that older scores use and the on-the-fly transposition that horns, clarinets, and trumpets demand. Most of the work happens at the piano: weekly individual lessons paired with a group class where you sight-read chorales, duos, and small chamber scores, building from two staves up to four-part writing with transposing instruments mixed in. It's a core skill for conductors, composers, and theorists — once you can collapse a score into your hands and ears, analysis, rehearsal, and orchestration all stop being abstract.
