Music Analysis Google Meet Virtual Workshop 2025

All workshops held remotely via Google Meets and available privately as a recording until the exam.

This year we’re trying something new: We will be recording the workshops. They will be available to be watched and rewatched until the exam via a private YouTube link. Attending these workshops means you give permission to have your participation in the workshop recorded. This may include your screen name and comments being read out and, if you come off mute, your voice may be recorded, though faces don’t tend to be recorded. 

If you have any concerns or questions regarding this, please let me know. If you are concerned about privacy, please feel free to use a different screen name.
