Episode 157: Episode 157 - Kerry Fergus and Score Study (especially for Musical Theater)

Meet Kerry Fergus, a classically trained vocalist with a master's in acting who also blogs and has a passion for helping folks - especially new music readers - find the hidden gems in scores through the power of score study! In this conversation, we explore 5 starting points for score study, no matter how much or little music reading skills, we look at how exploring these elements can help you interpret, understand, and ultimately enjoy the music - all you need is a set of ears and a score to look at - it’s that easy, and Kerry will explain how! This episode is geared toward Musical Theater, but the applications to choir, band, and general music are incredible - can’t wait to hear what you think! Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/w2CLvdmJCVIThe Music (ed) Matters Podcast is sponsored by our friends over at Perform International.
