October Journeyman

Study (Know):

Do all of the following to increase your knowledge:

Read:  this list of musical terms.  Learn as many as you can.  It may help to print it and have it near by while you watch the following talk.

Watch: Don't Know Much about Classical Music?  (53 minutes)

Read: Rachmaninoff Symphony 2 program notes

Listen: Listen to Rachmaninoff Symphony #2 with the notes above and take your own notes on the above notes (about how you feel about the different movements). Remember, Music communicates feelings.  When listening to music, it helps not to ask, "What was the composer thinking about when he wrote this?" but "What feeling does he communicate to my heart?"  (59 minutes) If you have a hard time identifying feelings, it may help to have this list of feelings to look at while you listen.

Teach us whatever you are inspired to teach us from your study (see teaching ideas) and give us a challenge to apply it to our lives (it is always good if you have taken the challenge yourself before you challenge others).

Take a principle from your readings in Pilgrim's Progress and practice this principle in your life. Teach us what you learned in your own way (whiteboard, graphic summary, object lesson, etc)

Start a musical library and tell us about your plans in how to build it and about how you have chosen the songs in it so far.

Memorize all of the musical terms on your sheet.  This site can help you learn them and it also has fun games on the top right corner to quiz yourself: http://quizlet.com/675432/learn Teach us what you gained from this experience.

Read (or review) Haydn on Spiritual lives of the Great Composers and then learn about Haydn's Cello Concerto no. 1 and teach us what you found interesting about what you learned (see teaching ideas) 

Teach us how you were changed from your detailed learning and listening to Rachmaninoff's Symphony #2
