Hmmm... and I thought I had it together tonight when I did a stay at home
ACWE practice. I’ll take my practice with a touch of music theory. 😎

I'm all for it. Could definitely stand to learn some more theory...ok, a
lot more theory. 😉

Random thoughts that occurred to me on my walk this evening:
To help keep people in the spirit of ACWE, what would you guys think of
trying to coordinate (via some video conferencing program) a series of
music classes/learning sessions on Tuesday nights during our regular
rehearsal time. We could do some music theory (like the classes Warren
organized a few years ago), some music history (like in college music
appreciation classes), perhaps even a night of ACWE history with people
just talking about their experiences (the Whitwell season alone could fill
an entire night). We could even try, if the tech works, a critical
listening of some previous ACWE concerts: point out what worked well and
how much stronger passages could have been with dynamic contrast. That sort
of thing. Clearly, these would be totally voluntary, but it could help keep
ACWE on people's minds and keep their minds off more depressing topics.
Plus, a little music theory couldn't hurt anyone, right?
