With the enormous amount of music available on the Internet, it might seem like it would be easy to find vivid, inspiring, memorable music for class and other dance uses…except it’s not. Join veteran musician and dance accompanist Lee Clark for an interactive session and conversation surrounding an array of music-related subjects. He will share and show search methods and strategies and ways to make elusive music ideas more concrete. And for when you have the good fortune to have live music in class, he will offer useful fruitful ways to collaborate with an accompanist. Bring in a piece of music you have found useful in a dance teaching setting. Come dressed to move.
