Workshop: How to read sheet music (Notes/Solfège)

My name is Jared from the US and I'm a voice teacher, professional classical singer, and voice actor here in Berlin. Through my group, simply tuning-in, I have been organizing singing events such as classes, open mic nights, and concerts for the singing group for several years now.

We'll be learning at this event the basics of how to read sheet music (in western style notation). That means understanding rhythms, what music notes are, and how to write a melody. Nobody will master these concepts in one hour, but it should give you enough to start with, so you can practice on your own!

I will mostly focus on the English style of notation (A,B,C, etc.), but I will explain the differences in the German system, and also how the names will change in a Solfège country. The sheet music itself though is the same everywhere, so don't be too intimidated.

I will provide all materials.

Anyone can join, and everyone is welcome. This workshop will be in English, but it is important to me that German speaking people feel welcome and questions in German are encouraged. I hope that this group will help connect the German and English speaking corners of Berlin.

There is a recommended donation of 10 euros for the workshop for those that can donate. Having people that are interested and enthusiastic is the most important thing for me, and if money is an issue, please come. It truly is a donation. Cash, paypal or a bank transfer are all possible. That information will be at the meetup.

See you there!
Jared
