Hi guys, Welcome to Episode 5. So far, the podcast is going well. People seem to really like it and are grateful for the support material. As I said last week, this podcast is about Contrast. My students seem to struggle a little with the differences between contrast, unity and variety. So I thought I would talk a little about contrast. In the PDF this week I have placed an explanation, a sample question response, some links to pieces of music that use contrast, sample score and then a list of the concepts with some things that might contain contrasting elements. I do hope you find it helpful. If you do, please leave a comment, follow the podcast (currently available in the US iTunes), subscribe to the YouTube channel or like me on Facebook and leave a review.
