Club will meet on Zoom! Contact student Ericsson Hatfield for more information.



Activities will include discussion of subjects in counterpoint, timed exercises, student presentations and sharing/feedback (more or less what we did last semester). Since this is online, we are also opening it up to some people outside of SFCM who have an interest in the topic, including a few professors and authors. The course is centered around canonic technique as the basis to other techniques. Here are some of the basic concepts we’ll cover:
