]]> Quarterly Workshop with Sharon Saul https://giml.org/quarterly-workshop-with-sharon-saul/ Sun, 01 Feb 2026 22:59:12 +0000 https://giml.org/?p=8456 WORKSHOP TITLE:

Improv-uuhhhh-sation: Helping Students Navigate Their First Experience with Tonal and Rhythm Pattern Improvisation

WORKSHOP SUMMARY:

Even with a good deal of tonal and rhythm pattern study, students sometimes have trouble adjusting to producing their own patterns. In this workshop, we will explore ways to help students meet their first experiences with tonal and rhythm pattern improvisation with success, and the role that success plays in future improvisation.

 

This workshop is FREE to all GIML Members. Non-members are welcome to attend for $25.00. If you are not a member of the organization, a representative from GIML will reach out with payment details following registration.

]]> Quarterly Workshop with Dr. Cindy Taggart and Dr. David Potter https://giml.org/quarterly-workshop-with-dr-cindy-taggart-and-dr-david-potter/ Fri, 02 Jan 2026 21:41:20 +0000 https://giml.org/?p=8323 TOPIC: Learning it Improvise: Teaching Readiness and Harmonic Audiation

DESCRIPTION: In this workshop, we will explore a roadmap for general music and choral teachers who are striving to help their students learn to audiate harmonically and express their own ideas through improvisation. Participants will engage in carefully sourced lesson plans rooted in a sequential model (resting tone audiation, chord roots by rote and audiation, harmonic audiation, and improvising over harmonies, then chord roots), its application to major and minor tonality with tonic and dominant functions, the addition of subdominant functions, and supplemental materials, including harmonic tapestries and folk/popular music. Teachers also will explore ways to improving their own improvisation skills.

This workshop is FREE to all GIML members. To register for this event, click here.

A Zoom link will be shared with participants by 12:00pm EST (noon) on the day of the event.

 

]]> “Space Audiation” Workshop with Ron Malanga https://giml.org/quarterly-workshop-with-ron-malanga/ Sun, 01 Sep 2024 21:24:31 +0000 https://giml.org/?p=7175

GIML is excited to present a workshop from long time GIML member, Ron Malanga, on Space Audiation on Sunday, October 20th at 5:00 pm ET. 

About This Workshop

Space Audiation?!? A quixotic quest to the quiddity of the question.

 

Ron recalls conversations with Dr. Gordon regarding the "Where" of tone and the "Whence" of rhythm in the expanse of the musical mind.


What is the nature of the inner system of relationships? What are the dimensions upon which they rest and relate? Is there practical value to be had for the day-to-day educator in (beginning) to comprehend Dr. Gordon's seemingly most esoteric rabbit-hole?


Join us, won't you, dear Alice?
