On Sunday, May 31st @ 5:30pm (Studio A – 2nd Floor), I will be presenting an Honor’s class at The Brookline Music School about the profound underlying musicality of Dr. Martin Luther King’s speeches.

Just like a master musician, Martin Luther King uses melodic, rhythmic, and dynamic tension to emphasize and captivate when he speaks. I will be showcasing Dr. King’s “I Have A Dream” speech where he speaks tonally and with the influence of western harmony, blues & gospel music.

This presentation will include a transcription of Dr. Kings speech in musical notation, a performance of the entire speech on fretless guitar, and analysis of the speech’s key points. There will also be time for Q&A.

The class is open to the public, so bring yourself and a friend.
