PLTL is a format where music is played by attendees. The group actively listens, then offers feedback. The idea is that all of us learn something, whether we have performance in mind or not, and expand our teaching. The topics are for brainstorming by everyone. Bring your questions and concerns, including relevant examples.
Every session: worthwhile repertoire by lesser-known composers and lesser-known repertoire by well-known composers, plus pieces that your students are playing. Bring a piece to share with PLTL, whether memorized or in progress.
Please let Dianne know, preferably by three days before the class, that you will be attending, whether you have a piece to play or not. If you plan to play, include the name and length of the piece. Also let her know which piece you would like to suggest for the discussion. Dianne will then send the names of these pieces to all participants.
To be held, the class requires a minimum attendance of four people. Attendees don’t all have to play repertoire.
