Did you ever wonder why you love some pieces on a concert and dislike others? Have you ever wondered why the conductor chose to perform certain pieces or how you can learn to listen to music differently? In this session, Dr. Stephen Meyer, director of bands at Northern Arizona University and director of the Tempe Winds, will guide you through different aspects of music from all genres. How is written music today similar to the masterworks of Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart and what new innovations have made classical music more exciting? Participants will also receive a free ticket to the Tempe Winds concert on Tuesday, January 28 at 7:30PM at Tempe High School.
