Ever see something in your score that you didn't really understand? Did you ever find yourself frustrated that you didn't know more about the mechanics of music? Do you want to prepare for that pesky AP Music Theory exam? Join Opus One's new online seminar focusing on music reading and theory. The season will be divided into two 'semesters' (Aug-Dec and Jan-June). The first semester will focus on foundational elements of music reading, theory, and aural skills. The second semester will cover more advanced topics in music theory and aural training. Participation in this seminar is completely optional. In addition to a weekly hour-long online discussion/question period, a digital classroom will be created that will allow the posting of selected readings, score examples, exercises, audio examples, prerecorded mini-lectures, etc. By the end, you'll be ready for anything the score sends your way!

As part of our regular Season Participation, Opus one will offer a monthly online master-class from someone in the music field. These professionals could include pedagogues, other conductors, composers, etc. Each will focus on a particular aspect of music making and include time for discussion and questions. These master-classes are optional and will be offered free of charge for all Virtual Season singing participants. Those who are not Virtual Season singing participants are also welcomed to attend the Monthly Master Classes (for a small fee).
