    #9 What to Listen for? with Aaron Copland's book "What to Listen for in Music" and Mark Pinder

    Aaron Copland was one of America's great Composers during the Modern period. Living from 1900-1990, Mr. Copland was a Conductor, Educator Writer and of course a Composer in many mediums, adding to the Film, Ballet, Opera, Chamber, and Orchestral repertoire. With contemporaries like Stravinsky, Shoenberg, Boulez and many more, Copland's musical education and experience is one steeped both in complexity and precision. Surely a musical mind worth mining for knowledge. In his book "What to Listen for in Music", Copland endeavours to bring the musical listening style and skill of a composer to the average listener. This book is filled cover to cover with useful concepts and approaches regarding listening.  Through an assortment of excerpts from the book, this podcast aims to stand as a 'taste test', to encourage listeners to read this wonderful book for themselves.

    #7 What to Listen for? with Juneyt and Mark Pinder

    Juneyt is a Waterloo based guitarist and multi-talented musician. Beginning his musical journey in Turkey as a young man, Juneyt found a deep connection to the guitar. He found a particular fondness to Rock, Blues and Flamenco. Though he performs in a wide variety of styles Juneyt's main focus is on his own style, Nuevo-Flamenco. Nuevo-Flamenco was born out of Juneyt's desire to both challenge and entertain his listeners, mixing the harmonies and musical ideas of both popular and more obscure musics. Away from the guitar Jun is an incredibly driven, passionate and friendly human being. Jun lights up the room wherever he goes. With a smile, a joke, a kind word or a focused conversation Jun is a valuable addition to any and all of the communities that are lucky enough to have him. You can find more information on Juneyt, his music and performances at his website below. https://www.juneyt.com/bio/
