How to Read Music (sort of) - 1 morning
Saturday 27 June 2026, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Face-to-face, Susan Deas Music, Jarrett St Leichhardt NSW 2040
Of course, no-one can learn to read music in a single session! But it is possible to explore how music notation works, and to discover how music notes, rhythms and expression are written on the page. This course provides a beginner’s guide to the basic principles of western music notation and score reading. Class numbers will be kept small, to allow plenty of time for questions. No prior musical knowledge is necessary.
