This offering in Jennifer Jolly’s “Great Women Pianists” workshop series celebrates the masterful piano playing of Aretha Franklin! Her roots in the church, her brilliant self-accompaniment, and how to incorporate her stylistic elements into your own playing will be explored through playing, listening, and viewing. Handouts will include transcriptions, listening guides, and suggestions for further study. Tech requirements: strong Internet, wired headphones, laptop or desktop by your keyboard. Prerequisites: basic piano proficiency, reading ability, and familiarity with major and minor chords.
