The Talk
Train your memory to remember what you just heard or about
to hear. Learn how to identify sections in a work. Identify instruments. Visually identify forms in a work. Learn to hear several musical streams at the
same time. Recognize different rhythms and their use. See how you can identify
themes and melodies and track them through the work. Recognize when a composer
develops such themes. And all this in Classical, Jazz, Pop and Rock music.
Akram Najjar
A graduate of AUB in Physics and Mathematics (1966). By 1969, he completed a degree in Electronic Engineering in University of Hertfordshire, UK. His professional life was spent in Information Technology and organizational management. He spent a lot of time on reengineering business and public sector processes.
When Akram was 11, he had a problem with his knee which necessitated his staying in bed for 6 months. To keep him busy, his mother moved their record player to his room and that is when he fell in love with classical music. Akram never studied music, academically. However, it interested him so much that he took an analytic view of classical music always insisting that works must be understood to be really appreciated.
