Solfege Workshop
Led by visual artist Steffani Jemison, this workshop introduces participants to the history and diverse applications of the solfege singing system and related systems of music notation. Participants will learn to translate between musical pitch, physical gesture, and notated score, and will learn to apply tools for listening to diverse pop musical material. No musical training required.
