Group 3
DON'T JUST PLAY BEAUTIFUL MUSIC, GIVE AN OSCAR-WORTHY PERFORMANCE THAT IS RAW, INTENSE, AND AUTHENTIC.
Konstantin Soukhovetski's Narrative Musicianship, an 'acting technique' for instrumental musicians will help you become a better storyteller. This course will guide you through the analysis of the score as a script, help identify the 'secret narrative' and integrate it into your musical choices to achieve the most emotionally engaging, riveting performance. You will learn how to connect your own experience to the music at hand, practical acting exercises, and techniques that will transform the way you approach the music.
Pianists of all levels are welcome.

Hi Everyone, can't wait for this! This is a topic I think about a lot, looking forward to it.
-
Hello! I am a teacher and performer, so I’m hoping to learn skills that I can use and also pass on to my students. Making music as engaging as possible in every way is my goal!
-
Hi Dominic, hi everyone! Thank You for this!
-
Hello everybody. Also looking forward to this course as I feel like I can never actually get my arrangements to sing!
-
This sounds very interesting. I've never imagined a story when playing a piece. My pieces are short as I'm an early intermediate player. Currently working on Sonatina in G by Beethoven.
-
Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to share with you Narrative Musicianship, which has helped me hone my communicative skills over the years. Have a clean unmarked score to try creating a script out of. The first video will guide you through the experience
-
Hello everyone, thanks for giving me a chance to learn something new here! Cheers!
-
Hello everyone,
I'm looking for an introductory video to start the course and provide more detail on what's actually expected within the group. Not sure if I'm in the correct place as one is left to navigate the Tonebase website rather than the link direct one to the exact starting place. An update from anyone would be appreciated.
Kind regards
Richard Caley

Richard Caley I think this is the right spot to check out the videos first.

Richard Caley Hi Richard!
For these courses, the teacher provides an assignment as seen above. You should then work on the assignment using the video and supplementary materials as direction. Please post your updates on this page so that Konstantin and everyone can see your progress!
A 1 hour zoom check-in meeting will be scheduled soon so everyone can join and speak with/share with Konstantin!
