From the Margins: What Music Theory Doesn't Want You To Know

Ep. 7: The Liberal Arts Experience (Agenda)

Kaitlyn Clawson Cannestra and Kasey Lynch Episode 7

In this episode, we talk about perfect pitch, aural skills (as always), and our experiences at different shapes of institutions: squares, circles, triangles, and chevrons. (You'll have to listen to the episode to find out what these shapes mean! ⭐️) Kasey and Kaitlyn both went to small liberal arts colleges and we both currently teach at a large R1 institution, so we have lots of thoughts about pros and cons of both. Finally, at the end, we reflect on the best of both worlds, and strategies we'll take with us for the future for good teaching.

This episode features clips from Britney Spears's "Toxic" (both the original and the instrumental cover by the Midnite String Quartet), Miley Cyrus's "Party in the U.S.A." and Rihanna, Kanye West, and Paul McCartney's "FourFiveSeconds."
