This past September, I was very pleased to give my first academic presentation about the Visual Listening Guide at the annual Gesellschaft für Musikforschung (Society for Music Research in Germany) conference, held this year at Berlin’s Humboldt University.
My session, which also included a presentation by J. Danny Jenkins about The Oxford Public Theory Handbook to which I contributed a chapter, was one of several that took place on September 30, as part of a “market for ideas and projects in the public communication of music research.” It was a unique and ideal context to introduce the Visual Listening Guide to German academics and industry professionals, and to learn of the various educational and creative initiatives developed by others to inform the public about aspects of music history, analysis, performance practice, and listening.
