Music as a Language - Reading Together

Welcome to the newest Reading Together series. I'll be posting a summary about our reading each week on Tuesdays. Come join us!

We'll be reading Music as a Language: Lectures to Music Students by Ethel Home. This book is available as a free download from Project Gutenberg. Click here to get the book. You can also read along in your browser, if you'd rather. You can also download the book from Amazon or buy a physical copy.

There are fourteen chapters, and we'll be reading one each week.
I'll post about the first installment on Tuesday, August 13. That means you have two weeks to get a copy of the book and to finish the first chapter.

The great thing about this program is that it allows us to read works together that can help us in our professional development as well as providing a level of accountability and the added interest of comparing notes as we read together.
