Laurie 🏳️‍⚧️ (he/him)<p>I feel like I talk a big game about 'Degooglifying' and moving away from proprietary services, but it's really fucking hard. In the arts, everything runs off Google because 1) its free 2) everyone is poor 3) the people who took arts subjects at school didn't get taught about tech in the level of detail that is required to understand how to Degooglify in 2025.

Georgiana BrummellI think some of you may find this interesting. I myself am beginning to study all of this, as I am fascinated by the singing methods and knowledge of the time. It is a bit difficult doing it being blind and unable to read music, but fortunately, there are ways around that. My perfect pitch and good memory for lyrics also helps. Still, if anyone would like to work with me on this i.e. study together or even give some advice, I would appreciate it.<br><br>Below, you will find various links related to theory, harmony and counterpoint, and a comparison of older and modern methods of teaching and singing. While this relates to choirs and opera, it also relates to the theatre, particularly operettas and such.<br><br>Studying Music: Part I<br><br><a href="https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/205086.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/205086.html</a><br><br>My one criterion was that the methods and books used had to be from the time of Ivor Novello, preferably from his youth (born 1893). If I were to start in the early nineteenth century, which is where most of my preferred non-musical educational material is from, I would miss extremely important developments in classical music. Starting at the birth of his mother, Clara Novello Davies, in 1861, would be fine. However, since her own book, which I am using as my main text and guide, was written in 1928, I went with that of her son. In the following sections, you will find the books I am using. One thing I have not included, though it was a huge influence in Ivor's own writing style, was theatrical music, such as that found in operettas and Edwardian musical comedies. That is such a large topic for discussion that I feel it deserves its own separate post, as does Ivor's music, since it's an interesting blend of all of the above. But this is well outside the scope of traditional musical study.<br><br>In the next entry (the below link), we will delve into vocal training and why the singers of Novello's time sound so wonderful.<br><br>Studying Music: Part II<br><br><a href="https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/205505.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dandylover1.dreamwidth.org/205505.html</a><br><br>Finally, since I mentioned the exercises, here they are, for anyone who wants to try them.
