428. NOTES, BEATS, AND RESTS: WRITING ABOUT MUSIC

Katie Winkelstein-Duveneck via Zoom   “She was no match for a City seeping music that begged and challenged each and every day. ‘Come,’ it said. ‘Come and do wrong.’” -Toni Morrison, Jazz     Music is emotional yet mathematical, social yet individual. In this class, we will read great works of literature that involve music. Writers can use music as a way to evoke a place and time, express the inexpressible, or even use language to emulate music. We will read fiction, nonfiction, music criticism, and memoir that involve music in various ways. In fun, experimental writing exercises, we will try our hand at writing stories of our own (this part is optional, so feel free to join the class whether or not you’re interested in writing).   1:00 – 3:00 p.m.                                                                                                          4 Sessions Mondays, January 6, 13, 20, and 27                                                                           Fee:  $200   [A
