what you expect to hear 5) Train your ear to recognize sections within a movement 6) Get to recognize it when a composer/performer develops a
melody that was presented earlier. 7) Be sensitive to the changes in rhythms within one movement/work 8) Train your ear to hear different “voices” in vocal and
non-vocal works
All these works will be presented in the talk. Just listen

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.
