College of Marin August 28, 2013


In an effort to round out my haphazard musical education, I looked around for ear-training teachers and found a comprehensive program that might work for me at College of Marin.  The four-semester series on ear training was coupled with a separate course on music theory, another big hole in my background, and I wrote to the instructor Trevor Bjorklund who enthusiastically wrote back with a few suggestions on how to proceed.  I signed up for his classes as well as a beginning art course, and now Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m happily engaged at the north end of the campus in Kentfield, where the modern Performing Arts building lies adjacent to Fine Arts in a small grove of redwood trees.  The other students are all about my daughter’s age, and together, we are learning a lot.  I even have a student ID.  Woo hoo!
