On February 25 the well-known choral clinician John Horman presented a program titled “Pitch Matching, Good Singing Tone and Note Reading
– OH MY!” at Warner Memorial Presbyterian Church of Kensington, Maryland. Using the book “This is Your Brain on Music”
by Daniel J. Levitin as background, he pointed out methods that we can use to
teach those who feel they cannot sing to match pitch as well as to understand
the basic tenets of music.
He is
pictured using memory boxes to match related sounds when they are shaken, which
then leads on to matching related pitches. After many examples, several anthems
were shared to demonstrate the concepts. Following the presentation there was a
reception in the social hall.
